Description
Overview:
This Butterfly Choke Valve is a genuine Villiers OEM component (part no. V1246E) for the B10 carburettor used on MK10 and MK12 single-cylinder engines. It is a round metal butterfly plate with a machined slot for the choke spindle and two fixing holes, engineered to regulate intake air during starting and warm-up. Correct choke operation enriches the mixture for easier cold starts and cleaner pick-up, helping the engine settle quickly to a stable idle. Supplied as vintage new old stock, the part is unused but may show light storage tarnish that does not affect function. Designed specifically for the B10 carb, it preserves original geometry and clearances for reliable sealing and smooth movement in classic Villiers-powered equipment found across garden, horticultural and light construction machinery.
