Wacker Neuson 5000048063 Rewind Starter Housing

The Wacker Neuson Rewind Starter Housing is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS-series vibratory rammer family, covering a broad range of BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS70-2, BS70-2i, BS50-4s, BS60-4s, BS500, BS600, and BS700 models. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a consistent, accurate fit across every compatible rammer configuration. Fitment spans two-cycle, four-cycle, and oil-injected BS rammer variants in both standard and EU configurations, making this one of the most widely applicable starter housing parts in the BS lineup. If your rammer shows signs of a cracked shell, broken pawl anchor points, or a starter cord that won't retract cleanly, replacing the housing with part number restores full pull-start function.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Shell Integrity — Molded and dimensioned to Wacker Neuson's original specifications, so the pawl engagement geometry and cord routing path match factory tolerances exactly.
• Broad BS-Series Coverage — A single part number covers BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS70-2, BS70-2i, BS50-4s, BS60-4s, BS500, BS600, BS700, and related EU and oil-injected variants.
• Drop-In Housing Replacement — Mounts directly to the existing starter assembly mounting points on the engine shroud; existing recoil spring, rope, and pawl components transfer over without modification.
• Restores Clean Recoil Action — A damaged or cracked housing causes rope misalignment, inconsistent cord retraction, and failed starts; a sound housing keeps pull force smooth and the return spring centered.
• Start-System Safety — A compromised starter housing can allow the recoil spring to escape under tension, creating a laceration hazard for the operator; replacing a damaged housing promptly eliminates that risk.

The rewind starter housing is the structural shell that encloses the entire pull-start mechanism — the recoil spring, starter rope, and ratchet pawls all live inside or attach to it. On a vibratory rammer, the starter takes repeated high-frequency vibration loads every time the machine runs, which over time can crack the housing, wear down the pawl anchor points, or distort the rope guide. When the housing fails, the starter cord loses smooth retraction, the ratchet pawls no longer engage the flywheel cup cleanly, and the engine becomes difficult or impossible to start. Replacing part 5000048063 restores the correct geometry for every component inside the starter assembly and brings reliable pull-start operation back to the rammer.
