Multiquip 28400Z0DV04ZA Recoil Starter Assembly

The Multiquip 28400Z0DV04ZA is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Assembly designed for MTX and MTR series rammers and the MVC40H plate compactor. As a factory-original component, it meets the exact specifications required by Multiquip for reliable cold and warm starting across compatible GX100 and GX120 Honda-powered equipment. Confirmed fitment includes the MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HF, MTR40HF, MTX50HD, and MVC40H. When your existing starter shows signs of wear — a rope that won't retract, a broken pawl, or a cracked housing — replacing it with the correct OEM assembly ensures the machine starts cleanly and gets back to work without compromise.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original design tolerances, with a recoil spring, rope, and pawl assembly that engage and release at the correct tension for GX100 and GX120 Honda engines.
• Drop-In Replacement — Mounts directly to the engine starter cup with the original bolt pattern, requiring no modifications to the engine housing or shroud.
• Broad Rammer and Compactor Fitment — Compatible with the MTX60HD, MTX60HF, MTX70HD, MTX70HF, MTR40HF, MTX50HD, and MVC40H, covering a wide range of compaction equipment in a single part.
• Consistent Starting Performance — A properly functioning recoil assembly delivers the correct pull force and full rope travel needed to crank the engine reliably, preventing hard starts and operator fatigue in the field.
• Complete Assembly — Supplied as a full unit including the recoil spring, starter rope, and pulley housing, so there is no need to source individual sub-components separately.

The recoil starter assembly is the manual pull-start mechanism mounted to the engine. When the operator pulls the starter rope, it spins the engine flywheel fast enough to initiate combustion; the internal recoil spring then automatically retracts the rope back into the housing ready for the next pull. A worn or damaged assembly commonly presents as a rope that fails to retract, a handle that pulls freely without engaging the engine, or a cracked outer housing — any of which will prevent the machine from starting. Replacing the entire assembly rather than individual internals restores full starting function quickly and correctly.
