Description
Overview:
The Float Needle to fit Amal 343 Model Carburettor is a small, precision-made metal component that controls fuel flow by sealing the inlet as the float rises. This Genuine Part from Villiers carries Manufacturer Part Number 343/010 and is engineered specifically for the Amal 343 carburettor used on many vintage engines, including JAP units. It helps maintain the correct fuel level in the float chamber, preventing flooding and erratic running. Supplied as unused old stock, the needle may show light tarnishing from age or storage, but performance remains unaffected. Ideal for restorers and maintainers of classic stationary engines and small plant or garden machinery that use the Amal 343 or JAP 4 set-ups, where reliable, consistent fuel metering is essential for smooth starting and steady idle.
