Description
Overview:
This Starting Pulley is a genuine JAP component for the JAP Model 80 engine, supplied under OEM No. 20397. It forms the core of the rope-start mechanism, providing a smooth channel for the starter cord and secure engagement with the engine's crankshaft. Built from robust metal for long service life, it is engineered to meet the original fit and function required by Model 80 applications found across older plant and garden machinery. As unused vintage old stock, the pulley may show minor tarnishing or storage marks, but remains mechanically sound. Choosing a genuine JAP part helps preserve correct tolerances and reliable starting performance on restored or well-maintained engines where accuracy and durability matter.
