Honda · Genuine OEM Part
The Honda 28281-035-018 is a kick starter spring listed under the official name SPRING, KICK STARTER (CHUO HATSUJO). It is shown as a component of the kick starter spindle assembly, where the spring contributes spring force to the kick-starting mechanism.
Honda parts fiches identify this part separately from the starter pinion friction spring and the kick spring retainer. The catalog lists one required spring in the assembly. The Chuo Hatsujo designation is part of Honda's catalog description and should be retained when identifying this exact component.
This spring belongs to the kick starter spindle assembly and provides spring force within that mechanism. Its catalog placement distinguishes it from the separate starter pinion friction spring shown in the same assembly.
Honda lists this number as SPRING, KICK STARTER (CHUO HATSUJO). The designation is important because the same fiche also shows a separately numbered kick starter spring with a different manufacturer designation.
The Honda fiche lists one 28281-035-018 spring as required in the kick starter spindle assembly. That catalog quantity identifies the assembly requirement and does not state the contents of a retail package.
Parts-fiche diagrams place 28281-035-018 within the kick starter spindle assembly alongside the spindle, kick spring retainer, starter pinion friction spring, washers, set rings and circlip. The part is therefore cataloged as an internal spring component of the kick-starting mechanism, rather than as an external lever or complete spindle assembly.
