The Wacker Neuson Spring Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM component designed for BV50A-P and BV50A-H series backpack vibrators. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part carries the same specifications as the component originally installed at the factory, ensuring an exact match to your machine's recoil starter assembly. Compatible across multiple BV50A-P and BV50A-H configurations, part number is the correct service replacement when your recoil starter spring has lost tension, broken, or caused hard-starting issues. Keep your backpack vibrator starting quickly and reliably with this direct OEM replacement.
Key Features
- Correct Recoil Tension Spec — Manufactured to the original spring rate, so the pull cord retracts fully and the starter engages with proper resistance every time.
- Genuine OEM Part — Supplied by Wacker Neuson under part number 5000217227, meaning it matches the original assembly without any guesswork or fitment compromise.
- Drop-In Starter Housing Fit — Designed to seat directly into the existing recoil starter housing on BV50A series backpack vibrators with no modification to surrounding components.
- Covers BV50A-P and BV50A-H Series — Fits multiple BV50A-P and BV50A-H backpack vibrator configurations, making it the correct choice across the BV50A model family.
- Restore Reliable Cold Starts — A worn or broken recoil spring causes failed or sluggish starting; replacing it with this OEM spring restores consistent, one-pull starts and keeps your crew productive.
The recoil starter spring is the coiled torsion spring housed inside the recoil starter assembly. When you pull the starter cord, the spring stores energy and then releases it to retract the cord back into the housing after each pull attempt. Over time and with repeated use, the spring can weaken, lose its set, or break entirely — resulting in a cord that won't retract, sluggish engine cranking, or a starter assembly that fails to engage the engine at all. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring promptly restores normal starting function and prevents additional wear on surrounding starter components.
