Description
Overview:
The Kickstarter Pivot Pin (OEM 21771) is a genuine Jap component used to form the pivot point for the kickstart lever on vintage Jap engines. Made from robust steel with a smooth machined finish, it keeps the lever aligned and allows free, consistent rotation during starting. It is designed for classic engines such as the Jap 4/3 and 4F, where an accurate pivot is essential for reliable operation. Supplied as unused old stock, surfaces may show light tarnish or storage marks, but this does not affect performance. This pin is a straightforward, like‐for‐like replacement that helps restore correct function in the kickstart assembly, reduce play, and extend service life on older Jap engines fitted to small plant, stationary equipment, and other machinery requiring manual kick starting. Being a Genuine Part ensures proper fit and compatibility.
