Description
Overview:
This Governor Gear is a genuine Villiers part designed for classic small engines, including the C12 and MK12. It is moulded from durable nylon/plastic and features a 26-tooth profile that works with the governor assembly to regulate engine speed under changing loads. By keeping revs stable, it protects the engine from overspeed and helps the machine run smoothly. Suitable for vintage Villiers-powered equipment found in gardening, light construction, and agricultural use, it is a dependable replacement for a worn or damaged original gear. The part is engineered for correct mesh and ratio within the governor drive, supporting reliable performance and longevity in well-maintained engines. As a vintage component, minor cosmetic age marks may be present but do not affect function.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility and correct governor action

- Suitable for restorations and routine maintenance; minor age-related marks possible
Typical Applications:
Used within the governor mechanism of Villiers engines to maintain steady RPM on equipment such as lawn and garden machinery, small site and workshop tools, pumps, generators, and light agricultural implements.
