The Wacker Neuson 5000046098 Rewind Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-2, BS60-2, BS70-2, and BS65-V series gasoline vibratory rammers, along with select MS-series models. As a direct OEM replacement, this starter is manufactured to the same specifications as the original unit fitted at the factory, ensuring a correct installation without guesswork. Fitment extends across a wide range of BS-series rammer configurations, including standard, fuel-injected, and EU-compliant variants. If your rammer won't pull-start or the rewind mechanism has failed, part number 5000046098 is the correct service replacement to restore full operation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Rewind Mechanism: — Built to the same engagement and recoil tension specs as the original starter, so the rope engages the engine crank cleanly and rewinds fully after each pull.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Mounts to the existing starter boss on BS-series rammer engines; hardware alignment matches the original unit for a straightforward swap.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility: — Covers BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, BS70-2i, and related EU and fuel-injected variants, as well as legacy BS500, BS600, BS700, and MS52/MS62 models.
- Restore Pull-Start Function: — A worn or broken rewind starter leaves the rammer impossible to start in the field; replacing it with 5000046098 brings the machine back to full operational readiness.
- Verified OEM Part Number: — Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's parts network, so you receive the correct assembly the first time — critical given the wide model range this starter covers.
The rewind starter — also called a recoil starter — is the pull-cord assembly that spins the engine crankshaft fast enough to initiate combustion on a gasoline-powered rammer. When you pull the handle, an internal pawl engages a cup on the flywheel, cranking the engine; once the engine fires, the pawl releases and the spring-loaded mechanism rewinds the rope for the next pull. When the recoil spring breaks, the rope frays, or the pawl mechanism wears, the engine simply cannot be started by hand. Replacing the complete rewind starter assembly — rather than attempting to repair individual internal components — is the standard service approach and gets the rammer back to work quickly.
