The Wacker Neuson 5100015799 is a genuine OEM Recoil Starter Complete designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As series gasoline vibratory rammers. As a factory-sourced assembly, this starter is manufactured to the same tolerances and specifications as the original unit installed at the factory, ensuring a direct, trouble-free installation. This part covers a wide range of BS-series rammer configurations, including 280 mm and 11-inch shoe variants, making it the correct choice for the most common versions of these machines in the field. Keeping your rammer's recoil starter in sound working condition is essential to reliable cold and warm starting on the jobsite.
Key Features
- Complete Starter Assembly: — Supplied as a full Recoil Starter Complete unit — rope, pulley, rewind spring, and housing included — so no separate components are needed to restore starting function.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing: — Manufactured by Wacker Neuson to the same engagement geometry and rope-pull tension as the original, ensuring the starter pawl engages the engine flywheel correctly every time.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility: — Verified fit across BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As vibratory rammers, covering both 280 mm and 11-inch shoe configurations in standard and US variants.
- Restored Cold-Start Performance: — A worn or broken recoil starter leaves the rammer unable to start; this replacement restores full manual-start capability so work can resume without delay.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original mounting pattern on the engine housing, allowing straightforward bolt-on installation with standard hand tools.
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that spins the engine crankshaft fast enough to initiate combustion. On gasoline vibratory rammers like the BS-series, the starter assembly uses a coiled rewind spring to retract a pull rope after each starting attempt, with a set of engagement pawls that lock onto the engine flywheel during the pull stroke and release cleanly once the engine fires. When the rope frays, the rewind spring breaks, or the pawls wear and fail to engage, the engine simply cannot be started by hand. Replacing the complete assembly — rather than individual sub-components — is the most dependable way to restore full starting reliability and avoid repeat failures in demanding compaction applications.
