Description
Overview:
The Float Taper Needle No. 21⁄2 is a genuine Villiers fuel metering needle for the Lightweight Type carburettor used on the Villiers MK26C engine. Precision-made in brass, it uses a tapered tip to seal against the carburettor seat and control fuel flow into the float chamber, helping to keep the fuel level stable for smooth starting, clean idling, and consistent running. Measuring approximately 21⁄2 inches (6.35 cm) in length, this OEM replacement (V591) is intended as a direct fit during routine servicing or a carburettor rebuild. It is suitable for classic Villiers-powered machinery found in construction and garden equipment. As a vintage, unused part, it may show minor tarnishing or marks from storage, which does not affect performance.
