The Wacker Neuson Starter Assembly Recoil is a genuine OEM component designed for the WP1540A, WP1550A, WPU1550A, and WPU1550AW series vibratory plates, as well as HP50A, HP100A, HPG50A, HPG100A truss screed power sections, PT2A pumps, BT24A and BT36A internal vibrators, and D3.5A series modular internal vibrators. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the is manufactured to the same specification as the original unit it replaces, ensuring consistent performance across the full range of compatible machines. Drop-in installation means no rework or modification to the engine housing — the assembly mounts exactly as the factory unit did. Whether you are servicing a vibratory plate on a paving crew or maintaining a screed power section, this recoil starter assembly keeps your equipment starting on the first pull.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Pull-Start Integrity — Built to Wacker Neuson's original engagement and cord-tension specifications, so the starter mechanism engages and releases cleanly every time.
- Direct Bolt-On Replacement — Mounts to the engine housing using the original bolt pattern, with matching housing contours for a flush, secure fit without drilling or adapting.
- Broad Model Coverage — Compatible with WP1540A, WP1550A, WPU1550A, WPU1550AW, HP50A, HP100A, HPG50A, HPG100A, PT2A, BT24A, BT36A, D3.5A2, and D3.5A3 series equipment.
- Dependable Cold and Hot Starts — A correctly functioning recoil starter ensures the engine fires promptly in both cold-morning and high-heat operating conditions; a worn or broken starter leaves the machine dead on the worksite.
- Safe Manual-Start Operation — OEM cord, pawl, and recoil spring components are matched to handle the correct pull force for the engine displacement, reducing the risk of cord snap-back or handle failure during starting.
The recoil starter assembly is the manual starting mechanism mounted to the engine housing. When the operator pulls the handle, the starter cord unwinds and spins the engine crankshaft through a set of centrifugal pawls or dogs until the engine fires, at which point the recoil spring snaps the cord back and the pawls disengage. When the cord frays, the spring loses tension, or the pawl mechanism wears, the engine may become difficult or impossible to start manually. Replacing the entire assembly rather than individual internal components restores full starting function and ensures all parts are correctly matched to one another.
