Description
Overview:
The Choke Plate for V Type carburettors is a genuine Villiers component, OEM No. V548. Made from durable metal, it is a round choke disc with mounting holes that restricts airflow to enrich the fuel mixture for cold starts and smoother warm-up. It is intended for classic Villiers stationary engines commonly used in garden and light construction machinery, including MK10 and MK15. This is unused vintage stock, so surfaces may show light tarnish or storage marks; this is cosmetic and does not affect function. As a like-for-like replacement for a worn, bent, or missing choke plate, it restores correct choke operation and helps protect the engine during start-up. Suitable for workshops and DIY users maintaining classic Villiers equipment.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part - OEM V548 for straightforward identification
- Designed for V Type carburettors on popular MK-series engines
- Durable metal construction for long service life
- Accurate fit and geometry for reliable choke action
- Promotes correct cold-start enrichment and smoother warm-up
- Supports stable idle and reduces stalling at start-up
- Unused vintage stock; cosmetic ageing does not affect performance

- Suitable for both trade and DIY maintenance
- Cost-effective way to restore proper carburettor function
Typical Applications:
Used during servicing and restoration of classic Villiers-powered machines such as lawn mowers, rotavators/cultivators, small generators, water pumps, and light site equipment. Ideal when the original choke plate is damaged, corroded, sticking, or missing, to improve starting reliability, warm-up behaviour, and overall carburettor performance.
