Description
Overview:
The Needle Seated Washer for the Villiers Amal 379 carburettor is a genuine replacement part designed to seal the needle seat to the carburettor body. Manufactured by Villiers to original specifications (MPN 360/038), it uses a fuel‐resistant sealing material to maintain a tight, leak‐free joint under typical engine vibration and operating temperatures. By preserving correct float height and preventing seepage around the needle seat, it helps stabilise mixture and idle quality on vintage petrol engines. This washer is commonly used on Villiers and JAP engines, including JAP 3 and JAP 4 models that run the Amal 379 carburettor. Supplied as unused old‐stock, it may show minor age‐related marks that do not affect performance or fit.
