Description
Overview:
The Float for Villiers B12/5 and B12/6 carburettors (part V1791) is a Genuine Villiers component used to control fuel level in the float chamber. Made from durable brass, it sits within the carburettor bowl and operates the needle valve to keep the fuel at the correct height, which is essential for clean starting, smooth idling, and consistent running. This float is suited to Villiers lightweight vertical short engines rated at 125 cc and 150 cc commonly found on vintage lawn and garden machinery and compact industrial equipment. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light tarnish or shelf wear, but function is unaffected when installed correctly in a sound carburettor body.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part V1791 for assured fit and function
- Brass construction for resistance to fuel and long service life
- Correct geometry for B12/5 and B12/6 carburettors on 125 cc/150 cc engines
- Maintains stable fuel height for reliable starting and steady running
- Drop-in replacement for worn, dented, or fuel-logged floats
- Suitable for restoration of vintage machinery while retaining authenticity
- Old stock, unused item; cosmetic tarnish possible without affecting performance
- Helps prevent flooding, hesitation, and lean running caused by incorrect float level
Typical Applications:
Used in the float chambers of Villiers B-series carburettors on small stationary engines, compact horticultural machines, cylinder and rotary mowers, small generators, and other light industrial equipment running 125 cc and 150 cc Villiers vertical short engines. Ideal for routine service, repair work, or period-correct restorations.
