Description
Overview:
The Recoil Distance Piece is a machined metal spacer used in the recoil starter assembly of Villiers C12 machinery. It sits between starter components to set the correct clearance, keeping the pull-start action smooth and preventing premature wear. This genuine Villiers part (MPN 32233) is unused old stock and suited to owners maintaining or restoring equipment powered by the Villiers C12 engine. Its robust metal construction copes well with vibration and repeated starting cycles. As a vintage component it may show tarnishing or storage marks, but this does not affect function.
