Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

It was the wrong part. Didnt fit my tool.

perfect, solved my problem. First tried replacing just the cord....what a waste of time. This was as easy as 1 2 3

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.

Wrong part for device

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.

This was not the part I needed but by combining it with Hitachi 6696471 I was able to fix the blower.

Tried it out but did not work ,gave all info on my machine this bolted on but did not work !

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

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

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