Description
Overview:
The Recoil Assembly Distance Piece is a genuine Villiers spacer used to set the correct stand-off between the pull-start (recoil) mechanism and the engine on lightweight JAP petrol engines. Made from durable metal for long service, it keeps the starter aligned and prevents binding, helping the engine engage and start smoothly. Supplied as Villiers MPN 25656, it is engineered for a precise fit on JAP 125cc and JAP 150cc engines commonly found on compact construction plant and garden machinery. By maintaining accurate spacing, it protects mating parts from premature wear and helps preserve overall engine integrity. A practical choice for servicing and rebuilds, it replaces worn or missing spacers to restore reliable starting performance on JAP 125cc and JAP 150cc engines.
