This Spacer for Recoil on Villiers C12 and F15 petrol engines is a genuine Villiers component engineered to position and support the recoil starter assembly correctly. Made from durable metal, it keeps the recoil mechanism aligned so the starter rope pulls smoothly and the pawls engage reliably with the flywheel. As part of the starter stack, the spacer controls clearance between moving parts, helping to reduce friction and premature wear on vintage equipment. It is suitable for restoration and routine maintenance of classic Villiers engines found on small plant, garden machinery, pumps, and compact industrial tools. Supplied as OEM No. 30807, it offers the correct fit for C12 and F15 models and is ideal for keeping the pull-start system operating as intended.

Key Features:
– Genuine Villiers part for accurate fit and function (OEM No. 30807)
– Robust metal construction for long service life in demanding use
– Maintains correct spacing and alignment in the recoil starter assembly
– Supports smooth rope pull and consistent pawl engagement
– Helps minimise wear on starter drum, spring, and pawl components
– Suitable as a direct replacement during overhaul or repair
– Unused old stock; may show age-related tarnishing that does not affect performance
