Hitachi 6684938 THB-260PFRB24E Starter Assembly

After reading the review both for this one and a similar product, we went with this model and it was perfect! As others have said, please, check the year yours was manufactured as it makes a difference on which part you purchase. Look for the review with a link to the parts PDF - very helpful. Sorry I dont have the link handy. Easy to install and works great.

product works great

Had to do some research to make sure this would fit my blowers since there are two versions depending on how old model you own. Direct replacement to mine.

I can add my confirmation to this: it is a perfect fit for my Hitachi RB 24EAP leaf blower. The coiled spring inside my existing unit was bent beyond easy repair, and after multiple hours of still trying to fix it without success, I caved and bought this. Fortunately, it took me all of 2 minutes to screw in place, and I was back up and running! I wish it wasnt nearly $30 to repair a $100 leaf blower, but I suppose I could consider it saved me $70 on purchasing a new one.

I purchased this to fix my gas leaf blower as the roper snapped on it. I spent hours trying to recoil the spring. Then I looked here and it was an inexpensive quick fix. Very happy and hope it lasts for a couple years

This is the 3rd assembly Ive purchased since they do not last long at all. The original assembly that came with the blower also did not last long. Just know you will likely be buying 2-3 of these per year depending on your usage.

Easy to install, perfect fit

after spending an afternoon trying to recoil the spring in my leaf blower I bought this and I was done in a few minutes.

Tough time getting the lower tank screw out of the housing, but the part was a quick and easy swap. Works great. Wish the item description itself was a little more clear that this part fit the RB24AEP models. Felt like I had to do some cross checking there to verify that they might could clear up faster in the item copy.
