Description
Overview:
This Carburettor Heat Insulating Bush is a genuine Villiers component designed for the S10/2 and S12 series carburettors. It acts as a thermal barrier within the carburettor assembly, reducing heat transfer from the engine to the carb body to help prevent fuel percolation, vapour lock, and hot-start issues. Manufactured from a heat-resistant insulating material for dependable performance, it supports stable running and helps preserve adjacent seals and gaskets. Ideal for vintage Villiers-powered machinery, it keeps older engines running smoothly while remaining faithful to original specification. As unused old stock, it may show light ageing such as tarnishing or surface marks, but this does not affect function. OEM reference V1343E ensures straightforward identification and a direct, like-for-like replacement in suitable carburettor setups.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured fit and quality (OEM V1343E)
- Heat insulation reduces carburettor heat soak and vapour lock
- Helps maintain steady idle, cleaner pick-up, and easier hot restarts
- Protects nearby seals and gaskets from prolonged heat exposure
- Durable, heat-resistant insulating construction for long service life
- Direct replacement for compatible Villiers carburettors with no modifications
- Suitable for restoring and maintaining vintage machinery to original spec
- Unused old stock; may show cosmetic ageing that does not affect performance
- Compact, lightweight component for easy handling during service
- Supports consistent fuel metering by limiting temperature-led disturbance
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage Villiers engines fitted with S10/2 or S12 carburettors, commonly found on classic lawn mowers, cultivators/rotavators, stationary engines, small construction plant, pumps, and generators. Ideal when refurbishing or servicing older equipment where fuel can overheat in the carb body. Helps improve hot running reliability and extend the life of carburettor components in regular use or occasional show and restoration settings.
Also known as:
Carburettor insulator bush, heat shield bush, carb heat spacer, carburettor thermal spacer, carb insulator sleeve, insulating bush for carb, thermal isolation bush. These terms describe the same function: a bush that limits heat transfer within or adjacent to the carburettor assembly to promote reliable operation and reduce heat-related issues.
