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.

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

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.

Funciona adecuadamente.

The 2 star is for the product description. The product appeared to be fine and sturdy, but says it will fit my blower, but never caught the starter.

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

it didn’t not fit

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

--- This part DOES NOT FIT ALL RB24EAPs!!!!! ---- Please Check the bottom side of your old Pull Start before ordering. The Pic attached is of the INCOMPATIBLE shaft. I spent over 3 hours of my time on the phone with taking the part on / on and on the phone Hitachi Corporate to find out there was a design change for the RB24EAP and this is NOT the correct part number. I also spent 15 mins trying to talk to Kendra at Kansas Golf (me, explaining the whole hitachi story politely) DID NOT THINK WAVING THE POSTAGE FEE was warranted in this situation. because we have sold 30 or so with only a few returns... She did inform me that hidden somewhere in the more info button in the alternate seller list that another part is required to use this on some RB24EAPs I dont believe pulling the shaft apart to affix another retro-fit part to be a n OEM solution. Hitachi Corporate agreed to fix my blower for me since the part is on national back-order / Not available. It is unfortunate that Kansas City Golf felt this was the correct way to handle this event. While this part may work for Tanaka blowers out of the box. REPEAT!! IT DOES NOT WORK ON ALL RB24EAPs!! Hopefully my review will save other peoples valuable time.....

Does not have the piece needed to engage the engine when you pull the cord.
