Description
Overview:
The Slow Running Adjuster Screw is a genuine Villiers component for the Amal 379 carburettor, used on many Villiers and JAP small engines. Identified by OEM No. 379/015, this durable metal screw fine-tunes the idle (tick-over) speed so the engine runs smoothly at low throttle and restarts reliably. It threads into the carburettor body and allows precise, incremental adjustment to stabilise idle and help maintain efficient fuel use. Supplied as unused old stock from the period, it can show age-related tarnishing or storage marks, but performance is unaffected. Ideal for restoring vintage machinery or keeping older equipment serviceable, it serves as a direct replacement where the original Amal 379 slow-running screw is fitted.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured fit and function (OEM 379/015)
