Description
Overview:
This Float & Needle set is a genuine Amal/Villiers part for the Amal Type 379 carburettor. It regulates fuel level in the float chamber and controls fuel delivery to the engine, helping to prevent flooding and lean running. The set includes a fuel‐resistant float and a precision needle that seats in the fuel inlet to maintain a steady mixture during idle and under load. It is suited to older small petrol engines commonly found in garden machinery and light construction equipment, where Amal Type 379 carburettors were fitted. As unused old stock, items may show storage age such as minor tarnish or light dust, which does not affect function. A direct match for Type 379 applications, offering reliable, period‐correct fit and performance.
Key Features:
- Genuine Amal/Villiers part for assured compatibility and quality
- Direct-fit for Type 379 carburettors; no modifications normally required
- Designed to maintain correct fuel level for consistent engine running
- Fuel‐resistant construction for durability with modern unleaded petrol

- Old‐stock authenticity with the robustness expected of original parts
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage engines fitted with Amal Type 379 carburettors across lawn mowers, rotavators, stationary engines, compact generators, pumps, and small site machinery. Ideal for maintenance or full restorations where correct fuel level control is essential for smooth running and reliability.
