Description
Overview:
This genuine Villiers Control Lever Spring (OEM No. V117X8) is a metal double spring washer used in many older Villiers carburettors to maintain correct tension on the control or throttle lever. Built for reliability in vintage machinery, it helps keep the carburettor linkage stable so idle and acceleration remain consistent. Suitable for the 3/4 Junior and Lightweight carburettors, it also suits most old type Villiers units found on classic lawnmowers, cultivators, generators, and small plant engines. As unused old stock, the part may show light tarnishing or storage wear, which does not affect function and can complement period-correct restorations. A practical, long-lasting replacement to keep heritage Villiers-equipped machines operating as intended.

- Genuine Villiers part for correct fit and performance
- OEM reference V117X8 for easy identification

Typical Applications:
