Hitachi 6696572 Recoil Starter Body Assembly

Works great on my Tanka.

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

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

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

It was the wrong part. Didnt fit my tool.

Represented it to fit the model we own but it doesnt and making us pay postage to ship back for a refund.

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 did not fit. No one would help to send it back. Including Amazon!

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

Was supposed to be a made fit for my blower. Inner parts didnt match up
