FAQ

This assembly is designed for Honda GX120, GX160, and GX200 engines, typically found on 4HP, 5.5HP, and 6.5HP motors used in generators, water pumps, and lawn equipment.
This starter replaces OEM part numbers 28400-Z0T-003ZB and 28400-ZH8-023ZB. It also cross-references with 28400-Z4M-305ZB, 28400-ZH8-023YA, 28400-ZH8-023ZG, 28400-ZH8-033ZG, 28400-ZE1-003ZF, and 28400-ZH8-013YA.
Common signs of failure include a frayed or snapped pull rope, the starter handle failing to retract, or the engine failing to turn over because the internal pawls are worn and no longer engaging with the starter cup.
This unit features steel rod pawls (ratchets) rather than plastic alternatives. This design provides significantly higher durability and resistance to snapping under the heavy load of repeated engine starts.
Installation is a straightforward DIY task that typically takes 10–15 minutes. You will primarily need a socket wrench set to remove the three mounting bolts securing the old starter housing to the engine fan cover. Ensure the engine is cool before beginning.
Before tightening the bolts, ensure the starter is properly aligned with the starter cup on the engine flywheel. If you find the starter does not engage smoothly on older engines, a small washer on each mounting bolt can sometimes be used to provide the necessary clearance for the pawls to catch correctly.
