Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

Even though I did my research and looked at the diagram of parts, this recoil starter did not fit my leaf blower.

Does not work on the advertised blower and they want you to pay shipping to send it back.

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

Wrong part for device

Worked as a good replacement for mine that broke on tcgea27 tanaka machine

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.

it didn’t not fit

Did not work upon delivery

The item did not match the starter for the Hitachi. This was a generic assembly and was not compatible.

Used my original starter recoil assembly over 6 years before it the string snapped. This replacement assembly literally snapped after 10 pulls. Very chintzy string. Picture attached.
