Description
Overview:
This Kick Start Return Spring is a Genuine Part for JAP Model 3 petrol engines found on many vintage lawn mowers. Made from durable, tempered spring steel in a coiled design, it provides the correct return force to bring the kick lever back to its rest position after starting. Accurate tension is essential for smooth engagement and disengagement of the kick mechanism, helping to prevent drag, sticking and undue wear on mating parts. Supplied as unused new old stock under OEM No. 21769/1, the spring may show minor tarnishing or storage marks that do not affect performance. A like-for-like replacement for tired or broken originals, it supports reliable starting and preserves the authentic feel of JAP 3-powered classic mowers during maintenance or restoration.
Key Features:
- Genuine Part for assured compatibility with JAP Model 3 mechanisms (OEM No. 21769/1)
- Tempered spring steel for consistent tension and long service life
- Correct coiled geometry to match original specification and lever travel
- Restores positive kick lever return to prevent jamming or partial engagement
- New old stock: unused, with possible light tarnish or storage dirt only
- Straightforward replacement during routine service or rebuilds
- Stable spring rate to support repeatable starting performance
- Compact form factor for easy fitment within the starter housing
- Suits restoration projects where original-operation feel is preferred
