Description
Overview:
The Float Chamber for Villiers B12/5 and B12/6 carburettors is a genuine Villiers component designed to control and stabilise fuel level inside the carburettor body for consistent engine running. Identified as OEM V1707, it features a durable metal construction with an integrated drain screw for routine emptying and cleaning. By maintaining the correct fuel head around the float and needle valve, it supports accurate mixture control, easier starting, and steady idle. This float chamber is suitable for vintage machinery fitted with Villiers carburettors, including B12/5 and B12/6 units commonly found on small engines used in garden, agricultural, and light construction equipment. As unused old stock, it may show minor tarnishing from age, but remains fully serviceable for restoration and maintenance work.

- Genuine Villiers part (V1707) for assured fit and function on B12-series carburettors
- Robust metal body resists fuel exposure and everyday workshop handling
- Includes drain screw for quick draining, flushing, and seasonal lay-up
- Correct mounting and port layout for straightforward, direct replacement

- Suitable for restoring and maintaining vintage engines; unused old stock may show cosmetic tarnish only
- Precision-made to support consistent fuel delivery and mixture control
- Compatible with B12/5, B12/6 and related B125, B126 carb configurations
Typical Applications:
Used on classic Villiers-powered mowers, cultivators, generators, pumps, and light plant where B12-series carburettors are fitted. Ideal for workshop repairs, engine rebuilds, and heritage machinery restorations requiring reliable fuel level control to improve starting, idling, and throttle response.
