Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

This item looks like an exact match and bolts on. Unfortunately the inner parts are different then the original so it won’t work. I requested a refund and received no response.

PLEASE READ after looking at other reviews. There has been a lot of negative comments about this pulley assembly not fitting the Hitachi leaf blower (model RB 24EAP). The problem is there are 2 different pulley assemblies available. Check out the parts list found here: [...] (if for some reason the link doesnt show up properly, just Google Model RB 24EAP engine tool parts list and choose the first hit) The pictures in the parts list (see attached) are actually pretty good to help in determining which pulley assembly your blower will have (why there are 2 is a mystery - but PLEASE look at this doc first) I made the mistake of looking at this doc, but only seeing the pulley pictured on top and ordering. Once I received it, I had the same frustration as Travis and others did. But then after looking into it more, I realized there are the 2 options. Dont blame Kansas Golf and Turf - theyre just shipping what you ordered. I gave this 3 stars - mostly because of the confusion that Hitachi brings for having 2 different assemblies. Im sure once you get the right part - itll work as expected.

This recoil assembly didnt fit my Hitachi leaf blower by itself but I ordered the compatible pulley for it. Swapped pulleys on the leaf blower and it installed quickly. Works great and seems to be a better setup all around than the other.

fit great but the pull string could be a little longer.

Everything fit good,hope this time the rope last longer than new one
