Description
Overview:
The Villiers C12 Governor Spindle Lockplate EM341 is a genuine OEM locking plate for the governor assembly on Villiers C12 engines. Made from durable metal (steel), it secures the governor spindle to help maintain consistent engine speed under load. This small but critical part keeps fasteners from loosening due to vibration and ensures stable, predictable performance in vintage small engines often found in garden machinery and light construction equipment. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show minor storage tarnish or dust, but function is unaffected. With OEM reference EM341 and precise dimensions tailored to the C12, this lockplate is suitable for routine service, repairs, and full restorations where authenticity and correct fit matter.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility and build quality
- OEM reference EM341 for an exact, factory-correct fit on C12 engines
- Robust metal construction for long service life in vibration-prone assemblies
- Helps maintain steady RPM by securing the governor spindle and related fixings
- Suitable for vintage restorations, routine maintenance, and corrective repairs
- Unused old stock; may show cosmetic ageing that does not affect performance
- Straightforward installation with standard hand tools
- Supports safe and efficient engine operation under varying loads
Typical Applications:
Used to replace a worn or missing governor spindle lockplate during engine overhauls, servicing, or fault rectification. Common on vintage Villiers-powered equipment such as lawn and garden machines, small generators, pumps, and light plant where the C12 engine is fitted. Ideal for workshops, plant hire maintenance, DIY restorers, and collectors who require reliable speed control and an original-spec fastening solution.
