As a direct OEM replacement, the 66574 is built to the same standards as the original, ensuring consistent engagement and dependable cold-start performance across every application it supports. Sourced through DHS Equipment, this part comes backed by Multiquip's OEM supply chain so you can be confident you're installing the right component the first time.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Recoil Mechanism — Built to the same pull-force and spring-return specifications as the original starter, so the rope extends smoothly and retracts fully without slack or binding.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Matches the original mounting pattern and housing dimensions for a straightforward swap with no fabrication or adapter hardware needed.
- Broad Multiquip Fitment — Compatible with WBH21EPA, WBH-21EFP, WBH-21EF, WBH-16EAWD, and WBH-16EAWDF power buggies, the PRO20 mixer, and the QP402B centrifugal pump.
- Consistent Engine Engagement — A correctly functioning rope starter delivers a clean, repeatable pull that transfers enough rotational force to the engine for reliable ignition — especially important on cold starts or after extended storage.
- Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Part number 66574 is sourced directly from Multiquip's OEM parts program, so the rope, housing, and internal rewind spring are all production-spec components.
The rope starter — also called a recoil starter — is the manual starting mechanism that allows an operator to crank a small gasoline engine by pulling a braided rope. When pulled, the rope spins an internal pulley that engages the engine's crankshaft; once the engine fires, an internal spring retracts the rope back into the housing. Over time, the rope can fray or snap, and the internal rewind spring can weaken or break, leaving the engine unable to start manually. Replacing a worn or failed rope starter assembly restores full starting capability and keeps the equipment ready to work.
