Description
Overview:
The Villiers C12 Recoil Starter Pawl (MPN 87-1764) is a genuine Villiers component for classic small engines. Made from tough steel, it engages the starter cup or flywheel during a pull start to turn the crankshaft, then disengages as the engine fires. This part restores reliable starting on engines used in garden and light construction equipment. It is unused old stock and may show light tarnishing from age, without affecting function. Designed for an exact fit on Villiers engines such as the C12 and F15, it is an ideal replacement where the original pawl has worn, chipped, or failed. A practical fix to bring pull-start mechanisms back to smooth, consistent operation on period machinery.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers OEM part for assured compatibility and fit (MPN 87-1764)
- Durable steel construction engineered for repeated engagement impacts
- Restores positive engagement with the flywheel for dependable cold and warm starts
- Unused old stock; cosmetic tarnish possible, functionally sound
- Accurate geometry to minimise slipping, mis-engagement, or starter kickback
- Straightforward to fit with basic hand tools (pawl only; check spring and pivot condition)
- Suitable for maintaining originality on vintage Villiers-powered equipment
- Cost-effective repair for pull-start mechanisms showing wear or intermittent engagement
Typical Applications:
Used on Villiers-powered lawn mowers, rotavators/cultivators, generators, water pumps, stationary engines, light construction tools, and compact mixers or plate compactors. Ideal wherever C12/F15/MK-series engines are fitted and reliable hand-starting is required after wear to the original pawl.
