038162024 supersedes older part numbers: 038162021
Original Makita 038-162-024 — Cable drum (starter pulley) complete with rewind spring and rope anchor. This is the original Makita starter drum used in the recoil starter assembly: the starter rope winds on the pulley while the internal rewind spring retracts it, so the part is supplied as a complete, ready-to-install unit.
Key details: internal bore fits a ≈10 mm shaft, overall large-diameter face about 74.5 mm, small flange diameter about 24.5 mm and a thickness around 31.5 mm (measurements approximate). The drum contains the spiral rewind spring and the rope anchor/mount so you won’t need additional starter components when replacing a damaged pulley.
Compatibility examples: listed for Makita/Dolmar petrol chainsaws such as EA7900 / EA7900P, EA7300 / EA7300P and EA7301/EA7301P and Makita DCS-series models including DCS6401, DCS7301 and DCS7901 (check your model diagram/parts list to confirm exact fit).
Notes: the 038162024 drum is supplied complete and is the part called out in Makita parts diagrams for the starter assembly; If your rope won’t retract, the drum is cracked, or the rewind spring has failed, replacing this part restores proper starter function.
