Description
Overview:
This genuine Villiers recoil starter drive component is a vintage, unused old‐stock part for the Villiers F15 engine. Made from durable pressed steel with a plain metal finish, it forms the interface between the pull‐start mechanism and the crankshaft, allowing the pawls to engage positively for smooth cranking. It restores correct operation of the hand‐start assembly on classic stationary engines and small machinery powered by the F15. As original equipment, it preserves factory geometry and engagement angles, helping prevent slip or premature wear elsewhere in the starter system. Being unused old stock, it may show light tarnishing from storage, but it remains functionally sound. Ideal for routine maintenance or a faithful restoration where authenticity, fit, and long‐term reliability matter.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility with the F15
- Unused vintage stock, preserving original manufacturing quality
- Pressed steel construction for strength and long service life
- Correct engagement profile for smooth, reliable starter pawl contact
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged originals, no modifications expected

- May show storage tarnish only; functional integrity is unaffected
- Straightforward to fit with basic hand tools and standard fixings
- Supports proper load transfer to protect adjacent starter components
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage machinery and stationary equipment powered by Villiers F15 engines, including classic garden and light construction tools. Suitable when rebuilding a recoil starter assembly, replacing a slipping or deformed cup, or returning a period engine to service. Helpful for workshop overhauls, heritage restorations, museum pieces, and dependable day‐to‐day running of legacy equipment where easy, consistent starting is required.
Also known as:
Starter dog cup, starter drive hub, recoil drive boss, flywheel starting cup, recoil drive hub, starter engagement cup. These alternative terms describe the same component that couples the pull‐start pawls to the engine, allowing the crankshaft to be turned by the recoil mechanism.
