DHS Equipment stocks genuine Multiquip replacement parts to keep your compaction equipment running at full capacity.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension: — Manufactured to the original coil tension specification, ensuring the recoil starter retracts smoothly and consistently with each pull.
- Direct Assembly Fit: — Designed to seat correctly within the recoil starter housing on MVC64VH and MVC64VHW plate compactors without rework or modification to the starter assembly.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Compatible with MVC64VH and MVC64VHW Multiquip vibratory plate compactors.
- Supersession Notice: — Multiquip supersedes 28442ZH8803 to part number 28442ZH8003; verify the current active number before placing your order.
- Consistent Cold-Start Performance: — A fatigued or broken recoil spring prevents the starter cord from retracting, leaving the engine unable to start; replacing it restores reliable pull-start function on every use.
The recoil starter spring is the coiled return spring housed inside the starter assembly. When the operator pulls the starter cord, the spring stores energy; when the cord is released, it uses that stored energy to retract the cord back into the housing, resetting it for the next pull. Over time, repeated starts can fatigue or fracture the spring, causing the cord to go slack or fail to retract entirely. Replacing the spring with a correct OEM part restores proper recoil tension and ensures the plate compactor starts reliably every time.
