Hitachi 6685334 — Starter pawl (original Hitachi) for small engine chainsaws. Clean replacement for the small spring‑loaded pawl that engages the starter reel and flywheel when you pull the recoil rope; listed as part number 6685334 and shown across Hitachi/Tanaka parts lists as the starter pawl for many 32–33 cc pruning chainsaw models. Fit Models : CS33EA / CS33EB / CS33ET / TCS33EB / CS33ED / CS33EDP / CS33EDT / CS33EDTP / TCP-25B / TCS27EPAP / TCS33EDP and  TCS33EDT

This is the direct starter‑pawl element (usually fitted as a pair on the pulley assembly) — it works together with the pawl spring (part 6685335) and the small retaining ring (part 6685336) shown on the same exploded parts lists, so check those items if the starter mechanism has seized or if springs/circlips are missing. Ideal for a repair where the recoil pawls are worn, broken, or no longer engaging the flywheel; installation is a simple pulley/cover service job on the starter assembly.

If you need an original Hitachi spare parts replacement to get your tool turning again, this starter pawl (6685334) is the small, precise component that restores reliable engagement — a compact, purpose‑made part listed in Hitachi parts diagrams for the models above and commonly stocked under that code. This is one of the essential Hitachi parts for power tools servicing a worn starter.
