The Wacker Neuson Starter Pulley is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, and BS60-4s series gasoline vibratory rammers. As a direct OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a correct, consistent fit within the recoil starter assembly. This pulley is compatible across a wide range of BS-series rammer configurations, including standard, EU, and high-altitude variants, making it a go-to replacement for technicians servicing these machines in the field or the shop.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Recoil Groove Geometry — Manufactured to original pulley dimensions so the starter rope seats and winds correctly every time, maintaining consistent pull resistance and recoil action.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000164088 carries the same material and dimensional spec as the component installed at the factory.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across BS50-4, BS50-4s, BS60-4, and BS60-4s rammer models, including standard, EU, and high-altitude configurations with 280mm/11 in shoe setups.
- Restored Starting Performance — A worn or cracked starter pulley causes erratic rope engagement, hard starting, or full starter failure; replacing it with 5000164088 restores smooth, dependable engine starts.
- Drop-In Recoil Assembly Replacement — Engineered to mount directly into the existing recoil starter housing on BS-series rammers with no modification to surrounding components.
The starter pulley is the grooved spool inside the recoil starter assembly that the pull rope wraps around. When the operator pulls the starter handle, the rope unwinds from the pulley, spinning it and transferring rotational energy to the engine crankshaft to initiate combustion. A return spring then rewinds the rope onto the pulley for the next pull. When the pulley cracks, wears, or breaks, the rope can slip, fray, or become impossible to retract — leaving the rammer unable to start. Replacing a failed pulley promptly restores full starter function and prevents further damage to the recoil housing or rope assembly.
