Description
Overview:
The Recoil Starter/Flywheel Cup is a genuine Villiers component for vintage F15 and F17 single-cylinder engines. Made from robust steel with a silver finish, it sits on the flywheel and provides the drive face that the recoil starter dogs engage with when the pull cord is pulled. This transfers the turning force to the crankshaft for reliable starting. Supplied as unused old stock (NOS), OEM No. 32234, it is suitable for restoring or maintaining classic machinery powered by these engines. It helps cure slipping, mis-engagement, or inconsistent starts caused by a worn or damaged cup. Ideal for workshops, restorers, and DIY users working on period lawn and garden equipment or small plant fitted with Villiers F15 or F17 engines.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for correct fit and function (OEM 32234)
- Steel construction for durability under heat, vibration, and repeated pulls
- Precisely formed cup profile for positive engagement with starter dogs
- Helps restore smooth, consistent starting performance
- Unused vintage old stock; may show light storage tarnish but no use
- Compatible with Villiers F15 and F17 engines used across many machines
- Straightforward replacement using standard flywheel fixings
