Description
Overview:
The Starter Pawl for Villiers MK10 and MK12 recoils is a genuine Villiers spare made from durable metal. It engages with the recoil starter to turn the crankshaft on the pull and then releases cleanly to prevent drag, helping the engine start smoothly. Intended for vintage Villiers small engines often found in garden machinery and light construction equipment, it is suitable for maintenance and restoration work. As unused old stock, it may show minor tarnishing from storage, but performance is unaffected. This is a Genuine Part engineered to factory specification for reliable fit and operation within the recoil assembly, giving a dependable solution when the original pawl is worn, chipped, or rounded.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility and correct operation
- Designed for MK10, MK12, and MK15 recoil starter mechanisms
- Durable metal construction for long service life under repeated pulls
- Restores positive engagement and smooth pull-start action
- Straightforward replacement for worn or broken pawls; typically no modification needed
- Helps reduce slippage, misfires on starting, and premature recoil wear
- Suitable for routine servicing and full restorations of classic Villiers engines
- Unused old stock; minor cosmetic ageing possible without affecting function
- Factory-style profile for accurate engagement with the starter ratchet
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage Villiers-powered equipment such as walk-behind lawn mowers, rotavators/cultivators, small generators, water pumps, and light plant. Ideal when the recoil slips, fails to catch, or the starter action feels rough or inconsistent. Suitable for preventative maintenance during engine rebuilds to maintain reliable cold and warm starts.
