Description
Overview:
This Compression Spring for Old Type Villiers Recoil Starter Assemblies is a Genuine Villiers OEM part, MPN E12018. Manufactured from quality spring steel, it provides the controlled compression needed inside the recoil starter mechanism to keep the starter pawls engaging and releasing reliably. By restoring correct tension, it helps ensure smooth pull-start operation and dependable rope retraction on classic Villiers engines. It is suited to the MK10 and MK12, along with other old-type MK models using this style of recoil unit. Supplied as unused new old stock, the spring may show light tarnishing or storage marks that do not affect performance. A practical replacement for worn or broken originals, it supports accurate, long-term operation of vintage Villiers starter systems.
