The Wacker Neuson Starter Reel is a genuine OEM starter reel designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson VP, WP, WPP, WPU, BPU, BPS, AP, and RS series vibratory plates and rollers, including the VP1135A, VP1550A, VP1340A, VP2050A, WP1540A, WP1550A, WP2050A, BPU2540A, and RS600A, among many others. As a genuine OEM component, the is manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design tolerances, ensuring it integrates correctly with the engine's recoil starting system without the need for adaptation. This part covers an extensive fitment range across both standard and AW-suffix variants, making it a go-to stocking item for rental fleets, dealers, and contractors running Wacker Neuson compaction equipment.

Key Features

• Correct Recoil Spring Tension: — Built to the original engagement spec, so the rope retracts cleanly and the pawl engages the engine flywheel on every pull.
• Genuine OEM Construction: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this starter reel is manufactured from the same materials and to the same tolerances as the part that left the factory, preserving starting consistency over the component's full service life.
• Drop-In Installation: — Mounts directly to the recoil housing on compatible engines — no drilling, slotting, or modification required to the housing or rope guide.
• Broad Compaction Equipment Fitment: — Confirmed fit across VP, WP, WPP, WPU, BPU, BPS, AP, and RS series machines, covering both US and international configurations as well as standard and AW reversible-plate variants.
• Protects Cold-Start Reliability: — A worn or cracked starter reel causes inconsistent rope retraction, missed pawl engagement, and hard or failed starts — replacing it with part 5000406627 restores dependable cold and warm starting on the jobsite.

The starter reel is the core rotating component inside a recoil start assembly. When the operator pulls the starter rope, the reel unwinds and drives a set of pawls outward to engage the engine flywheel, turning the engine over for ignition. Once released, the reel's internal spring retracts the rope back to the ready position. Over time, the recoil spring can fatigue, the rope channel can crack, or the reel body can warp from repeated pulls and heat exposure — any of which will result in a rope that won't retract, a reel that won't engage, or a complete failure to start. Replacing the 5000406627 Starter Reel restores the full starting function and keeps compaction equipment ready to work when it's needed.
