Description
Overview:
The Choke Plate Split Pin (BRASS) is a genuine Villiers fastener for securing the choke plate or linkage within Villiers B10/1 and B101 carburettors. Made from durable brass, it resists corrosion and provides a stable, long‐lasting retention of the choke mechanism, helping maintain a consistent air-fuel mixture and reliable cold starting. This OEM part (V1980E) is sized to suit the choke spindle/lever arrangement on these carburettors and is suitable for classic garden and light industrial equipment powered by Villiers engines. Supplied as unused old stock, the pin may show light tarnish from storage, which does not affect performance. It is an ideal choice for restorations, routine carburettor servicing, or replacing a missing or damaged original pin on B10/1 or B101 units.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for correct fit and function on B10/1 and B101 carburettors
- OEM reference V1980E for straightforward identification and ordering
- Brass construction offers good corrosion resistance in fuel and vapour environments
- Secure choke plate retention helps maintain stable mixture and smooth starting
- Engineered to withstand vibration typical of small engines and plant
- Simple push-through fit; legs splay to lock in place with basic hand tools

- Suitable for restoration work and period-correct maintenance on vintage machinery
- Unused old stock item; aesthetic tarnish only, functionally sound
- Compact, lightweight component ideal to keep as a spare in service kits
Typical Applications:
