Hitachi 6684938 THB-260PFRB24E Starter Assembly

Fits perfectly. Works great so far. 10 min install

Fit and function as orginal

I can add my confirmation to this: it is a perfect fit for my Hitachi RB 24EAP leaf blower. The coiled spring inside my existing unit was bent beyond easy repair, and after multiple hours of still trying to fix it without success, I caved and bought this. Fortunately, it took me all of 2 minutes to screw in place, and I was back up and running! I wish it wasnt nearly $30 to repair a $100 leaf blower, but I suppose I could consider it saved me $70 on purchasing a new one.

Well you know the story, I pulled the string out of the housing. Man!!!!!!! Well I have never liked fixing the recoil starters on lawn mowers. I must say that this starter for my leaf blower has a very small nylon line and the spring and reel assembly is small as well. After several attempts to repair I stopped. My blower had worked flawlessly for years and I knew it had more life left. I didnt want to throw it away so I started searching for the new assembly. Ordered this and replaced the fuel lines as well while I had the cover off. The blower fired up and ran as expected. Thanks for having this part in stock...

Bueno

Annoying you have to replace the unit to fix a broken rope, but this works fine.

My pull string broke on my RB24EAP Hitachi blower. This replacement was a perfect fit. Please do your research. This part will only fit blowers built after 2014. I couldnt be happier.

Worked how it should.

Poor rope quality. It screws on fine, but the rope broke after a few uses. Gonna buy a better one now! ☹️

after spending an afternoon trying to recoil the spring in my leaf blower I bought this and I was done in a few minutes.
