Description
Overview:
This genuine Jap Kick/ Hand Starter Recoil Spring is a flat spiral spring that restores the rewind action in the hand-start or kick-start mechanism of Jap industrial engines. Sized at 2 in (50.8 mm) diameter, it is engineered to deliver the correct tension and return for reliable starts on JAP 3 and 4F models. Made from durable spring steel with a protective finish, it resists fatigue under repeated winding and release. As unused old stock, it may show light tarnish from storage, but it remains fully serviceable and ready to fit. Ideal for keeping vintage plant in working order, it provides a direct replacement where the original spring has worn, broken, or lost tension, helping your engine start cleanly and consistently.
Key Features:
- Genuine Jap part for assured compatibility and fit on JAP 3 and 4F engines
- 2 in (50.8 mm) diameter for precise seating in the starter housing
- Robust spring steel construction for long service life and repeatable tension
- Flat-wound spiral design provides smooth, controlled rewind of the starter rope or lever
- Stable performance helps reduce kickback and improves start consistency
- Supplied ready to install; straightforward replacement with basic tools
- Suitable for vintage restoration where original specification matters
- Unused old stock offering period-correct quality and feel
- Helps minimise downtime by restoring the starter system to proper operation
Typical Applications:
Used to refurbish the manual starting system on Jap industrial engines commonly found on older site equipment and small plant, such as cement mixers, water pumps, generators, compactors, and other stationary machinery. Ideal when the existing starter no longer rewinds properly or after a spring fracture.
