The Wacker Neuson Starter Rope is a genuine OEM Starter Rope designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS62-4Ab/28, BS65-4As, BS68-4Ab/28, BS70-4As, BS72-4As, and BS60-2 series rammers, as well as KMAT units. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the rope that shipped with your machine — so it seats correctly in the recoil starter housing without trimming, splicing, or guesswork. Compatibility spans a wide range of 11-inch and 28-inch adapter rammer configurations, covering both US and international variants. When the starter rope on your rammer frays, snaps, or becomes difficult to pull, replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps your machine starting quickly and cleanly every time.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Cord Construction — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original diameter, length, and braid specification so the rope feeds smoothly through the starter guide without binding or premature wear.
- Drop-In Starter Housing Fit — Engineered to thread and knot directly into the recoil starter assembly on covered rammer models with no cutting or resizing required.
- Broad Rammer Series Coverage — A single part number covers BS50-4As, BS60-4As, BS62-4Ab/28, BS65-4As, BS68-4Ab/28, BS70-4As, BS72-4As, BS60-2, and KMAT configurations, including US, CN, and Sunbelt variants.
- Reliable Pull Engagement — A worn or snapped starter rope prevents the engine from cranking at all; a fresh OEM rope restores full recoil tension and consistent pull-start engagement in the field.
- Verified Wacker Neuson Part Number — Sold as genuine OEM under part number 5100049069, giving you confidence that the part matches your machine's original build specification.
The starter rope is the manual link between the operator and the engine — it transfers the pulling force through the recoil starter mechanism to spin the crankshaft and initiate combustion. On a rammer like the Wacker Neuson BS-series, where reliable starting is critical to keeping compaction work moving, a frayed or broken rope means the machine simply will not start. Over time, repeated pulling, heat cycling, and exposure to fuel and oil can weaken the cord, causing it to snap or unravel at the handle end. Replacing the starter rope with the correct OEM part restores full pull length and tension, ensuring the recoil spring can do its job and the engine fires on demand.
