The Wacker Neuson 5100039021 is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter designed for the BPS and VP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact engineering standards of the original component it replaces. It is confirmed to fit the BPS1030A, BPS1030Aw, BPS1135A, BPS1135Aw, BPS1340A, BPS1340Aw, BPS1340Aws, BPS1550A, BPS1550Aw, BPS1550Aws, BPS2050A, BPS2050Aw, and VP1135A US models across domestic US and international EU configurations. When your starter fails, having the correct OEM part on hand gets your compactor back in service fast.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull Force and Spring Tension: — Matched to the original rewind spring rating and rope diameter spec for the BPS and VP engine configuration, ensuring consistent engagement with every pull.
- Drop-In Installation: — Mounts directly to the engine housing using the original bolt pattern with no drilling, cutting, or adapter hardware needed.
- Broad BPS and VP Series Coverage: — A single part number covers BPS1030A, BPS1135A, BPS1340A, BPS1550A, BPS2050A, and VP1135A US variants, including standard, wet (w), and AWS configurations in US and EU markets.
- Keeps Your Engine Starting Cleanly: — A worn or broken recoil starter leaves a plate compactor dead on the pad. This OEM unit restores the full engagement stroke and rope retraction that a properly functioning starter delivers.
- Correct Part for US and EU Market Machines: — Verified fitment across region-specific model variants, so you can order with confidence regardless of where your machine was originally sourced.
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that spins the engine crankshaft fast enough to initiate combustion and start the machine. It works by converting the pulling force on the rope into rotational energy through a ratchet and rewind spring assembly, which then disengages automatically once the engine fires. When the recoil spring breaks, the rope frays, or the pawl mechanism wears out, the engine simply cannot be started — bringing compaction work to a halt until the unit is replaced.
