Description
Overview:
The Kick/Hand Start Return Spring for JAP engines is a genuine replacement part designed to restore reliable operation of the starter mechanism. Made from robust spring steel in a flat spiral form, it provides the torsional force needed to return the kick-start or hand-start lever to its resting position after the engine fires. This OEM component (21769/2) is suitable for vintage JAP petrol engines commonly found in small plant, stationary engines, and older garden or construction machinery. Supplied as unused old stock, the spring may show light cosmetic ageing such as tarnish, but its function and fit remain correct. It is a straightforward swap for a fatigued, broken, or weak spring, helping keep classic JAP-powered equipment ready for use or restoration.
