The Wacker Neuson Recoil Starter Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the VP-series single-direction vibratory plate compactors. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct installation into the recoil starter housing. Confirmed fitment covers the VP1035R, VP1135RW, VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, and VP2050R vibratory plates.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Spring Tension Spec — Manufactured to the exact coil tension rating required by the VP-series recoil starter, ensuring consistent pull resistance and full cord retraction on every start.
- Drop-In Starter Housing Fit — Seats directly into the OEM recoil starter housing with no rework or trimming needed on VP1035R, VP1340R, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP1340RW, VP1135RW, and VP2050R machines.
- Broad VP-Series Coverage — A single part number spans seven VP-series plate compactor models ranging from 11 kN to 20 kN compaction force, making it a practical stock item for mixed-fleet operators.
- Restored Pull-Cord Return — A fatigued or broken recoil spring prevents the starter cord from returning to its resting position, leaving the engine unable to crank. A fresh spring restores fast, repeatable cold and warm starts.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Part number 5000083885 is an authorized Wacker Neuson replacement, backed by the manufacturer's parts program for traceability and quality assurance.
The recoil starter spring is the coiled-steel return spring housed inside the starter assembly. Each time the pull cord is yanked to crank the engine, the spring stores that rotational energy and releases it to retract the cord back into the housing, resetting it for the next pull. Over time — particularly on high-cycle equipment like vibratory plate compactors — the spring fatigues, loses tension, or snaps entirely. When that happens, the cord goes slack or fails to retract, making a manual start impossible until the spring is replaced.
