Wacker Neuson 5000046098 Rewind Starter

The Wacker Neuson Rewind Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50, BS60, and BS70 series vibratory rammers. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, part is built to the same tolerances and specifications as the original unit installed at the factory. This starter fits an extensive range of BS-series rammer configurations — including two-cycle, four-cycle, oil-injected, and variable-speed models — covering a wide variety of shoe sizes and market variants. Whether you're servicing a standard BS50-2, an oil-injected BS60-2i, or a four-stroke BS60-4s, this is the correct rewind starter for the job.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Recoil Tension and Engagement: — Engineered to deliver the correct recoil spring tension and pawl engagement for reliable pull-start operation across all covered BS-series rammer platforms.
• Broad BS-Series Compatibility: — Fits BS50, BS60, BS70, BS500, BS600, BS700, and related variants including two-cycle, four-cycle, oil-injected, variable-speed, and EU-spec models.
• Drop-In OEM Fitment: — Mounts directly to the engine housing using the original bolt pattern — no drilling, modification, or adapter hardware needed.
• Sustained Cold and Hot-Start Performance: — A worn or broken rewind starter leaves a rammer unable to start in the field; this OEM unit restores consistent, repeatable ignition pull every time.
• Covers Two-Cycle and Four-Cycle Engine Variants: — Confirmed fit across BS-series rammers running both two-stroke and four-stroke engines, including high-altitude and oil-injected configurations.

The rewind starter — also called a recoil starter — is the pull-cord assembly that manually cranks the engine to initiate combustion. When you pull the handle, an internal recoil spring winds a set of engagement pawls outward to grip and spin the engine flywheel; once the engine fires, the pawls retract and the cord rewinds automatically. On a vibratory rammer like the Wacker Neuson BS series, the starter takes repeated hard pulls under demanding jobsite conditions, making it one of the higher-wear components on the engine. A damaged recoil spring, broken cord, or worn pawl mechanism will prevent the machine from starting entirely, bringing compaction work to a halt until the assembly is replaced.
