Description
Overview:
The Villiers MK10/MK12/Lightweight Rope Pulley Bush for Recoil (E12014) is a genuine Villiers replacement bush for the recoil starter assembly on small engines. This durable metal bush supports the rope pulley, helping it spin freely and stay correctly aligned inside the starter housing. By reducing friction and play, it restores a smooth pull and reliable retraction, making starts easier and more consistent. Designed for lightweight applications, it suits construction and garden machinery powered by Villiers engines, including the MK10 and MK12. It is a direct-fit service part for routine maintenance or repair where the original bush has worn, become noisy, or caused the pulley to bind. Genuine Villiers quality ensures correct fit and dependable performance.
