The Wacker Neuson Recoil Starter is a genuine OEM recoil starter designed for the BFS 1318, BFS 1345, and BFS 1350 series gasoline powered floor saws. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this part meets the exact build tolerances of the original component installed at the factory. Compatible with a broad range of BFS model variants — including the BFS 1345A, BFS 1345AB, BFS 1345ABZ, BFS 1350A, BFS 1350AB, BFS 1350ABZ, and BFS 1318A configurations — the is a straightforward swap that restores reliable pull-start operation to your saw.
Key Features
- OEM Rope and Pawl Tolerances — Genuine Wacker Neuson construction ensures the recoil spring tension, rope diameter, and pawl engagement match the original assembly spec, so the starter engages cleanly every pull.
- Drop-In Fitment for BFS Floor Saws — Mounts directly to the engine housing on BFS 1318, BFS 1345, and BFS 1350 series saws using the original bolt pattern — no drilling, no adapters.
- Wide Model Coverage — Fits A, AB, ABZ, and standard variants across the BFS 1318, BFS 1345, and BFS 1350 families, covering both older and current production machines.
- Consistent Cold and Hot Starts — A correctly tensioned recoil starter delivers a full, smooth pull stroke that spins the engine fast enough for reliable ignition, even in cold-weather cutting conditions.
- Fuel System Safety Alignment — Using the correct OEM starter assembly ensures the pull cord and housing clear the fuel system components as designed, preventing contact or chafing that could develop over time with a non-matched part.
The recoil starter is the manual pull-start mechanism that spins the engine crankshaft fast enough to initiate combustion when the saw is started. It works by storing energy in a coiled return spring as the operator pulls the handle, then rewinding the rope automatically after each attempt. When the starter rope frays, the recoil spring loses tension, or the pawl mechanism wears down, the engine either won't turn over at all or requires excessive effort to start — both of which bring cutting work to a halt. Replacing a worn or broken recoil starter assembly restores normal starting performance and keeps your floor saw ready to run at the beginning of every shift.
