Description
Overview:
The Camshaft Gear Trough Spring is a small but vital timing component for the BSA 119 cc Villiers A15 Sloper industrial engine. Made from robust spring steel, it maintains bias and seating on the camshaft gear to help keep timing stable, reduce chatter, and support smooth, reliable running. This Genuine BSA part carries OEM No. 87 1619 for positive identification and a correct, factory-spec fit on the A15. Suitable for engines used across site equipment and garden machinery, it is a practical service replacement during routine maintenance or rebuilds. Supplied as unused old stock, the spring may show light tarnish or storage marks, but remains fully serviceable and ready to install on the A15 or Villiers A15 Sloper.
