The Wacker Neuson Starter Reel is a genuine OEM starter reel designed for the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As vibratory rammer series. As a direct factory replacement, this part is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the same specifications as the original component fitted at the time of manufacture. Fitment covers a wide range of BS-4As series configurations, including 11-inch plastic shoe models and 280 mm shoe variants. Keep your rammer starting reliably on every pull with the correct OEM part for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Recoil Engagement: — Factory-sourced rewind mechanism maintains the correct spring tension and pawl engagement spec for consistent, full-stroke pull starts.
- Drop-In Fitment for BS-4As Rammers: — Mounts directly to the engine housing of BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As models without modification to mounting points or cord routing.
- Broad BS-4As Series Coverage: — Compatible with 11-inch plastic shoe, 280 mm shoe, high-altitude, and hour-meter-equipped variants across the BS50-4As, BS60-4As, and BS70-4As lines.
- Consistent Cold and Hot Starting: — A properly functioning starter reel delivers smooth rope retraction and positive engagement every time, so the engine cranks on demand regardless of conditions.
- Prevents Cord and Housing Damage: — Replacing a worn or seized starter reel before failure protects the rope, engine housing, and operator from the risk of a snapped cord or stuck mechanism mid-job.
The starter reel — also called a recoil starter — is the pull-start assembly mounted to the engine. When the operator pulls the starter handle, the rope unwinds from the reel and spins the engine crankshaft fast enough to initiate combustion; a coil spring inside the housing retracts the rope after each pull. Over time, the spring can lose tension, the rope can fray, or the pawl mechanism that engages the flywheel can wear, making the engine difficult or impossible to start. Replacing the complete starter reel assembly restores reliable ignition and protects the rest of the starting system from additional strain.
