• Starter for trimmer HITACHI CG27 / CG24 / CG22

  • This Hitachi / HiKOKI starter – an aftermarket manual pull-start assembly, intended for trimmers, brushcutters, pole trimmers, hedge trimmers and blowers that use starter 6601570.

    The current HiKOKI number 6601570 replaces the earlier starter assembly 6699995. In older catalogs the number 6684673 is also encountered, indicating the previous starter housing. For example, in the CS27EPAP catalog 6699995 is listed as the complete starter housing assembly, while the starter pulley and the engine engagement dogs are listed separately.

    Original Part Numbers

    Current number:

    6601570

    Previous number:

    6699995

    Previous starter housing number:

    6684673

    Therefore it's worth changing the old product name „Hitachi CS27 starter“. CS27 is not the full model name. Official catalogs use CS27EPA and CS27EPAP, and the starter itself fits a much wider group of Hitachi / HiKOKI models.

    Before installation it is worth checking the starter pulley on the engine, the engagement dogs and their springs. They are separate parts, so a worn engagement mechanism may function poorly even after installing a new starter.

    Screw the starter on evenly, and after installation pull the handle slowly several times. The mechanism should engage easily and the starter should fully rewind the rope back.
