Description
Overview:
The Villiers C12 Recoil Friction Plate 87 1762 is a genuine replacement part for the recoil starter mechanism on vintage Villiers engines, specifically the C12. It is a robust metal plate designed to provide the controlled friction needed for smooth engagement between the starter pulley and the engine during pull-starting. By restoring the correct contact and grip inside the starter assembly, it helps reduce slip, chatter, and premature wear on surrounding components. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light tarnishing from storage, but this does not affect function. This part is suitable for classic garden and construction machinery powered by Villiers engines, helping keep well-maintained C12-powered mowers, cultivators, pumps, and generators starting reliably. Part number: 87 1762.
