Description
Overview:
The Fuel Needle Assembly V1459E is a genuine Villiers component for the B10 (Old Type) carburettor used on classic Villiers small engines. Precision-machined in brass for durability and corrosion resistance, it regulates fuel flow at the carburettor inlet, helping to maintain stable idle, clean throttle response and reliable starting. This assembly is intended for restoration and maintenance of vintage machinery running Villiers engines, including popular models such as the MK10 and MK12. As unused old stock, the part may show light tarnish from age, but it remains functionally new. It is a direct-fit replacement for a worn or leaking needle, restoring the correct fuel level control within the float chamber and helping to prevent flooding or fuel starvation issues.
