The Villiers kickstarter rubbers that are available these days are, as I am sure many of you have found, made from poor quality rubber & quickly break up after the inevitable kicking required. I have found that a Yamaha Townmate one does the job & survives the vigerous kicking needed to fire up a Villiers engine. These are available from A J Sutton at £1.96 each plus p&p http://www.yamahascooterspares.co.uk...6%3D5655&uid=0
