Description
Overview:
The Strangler Flap is a genuine Zenith component for the 13TC carburettor used on vintage JAP and Suffolk engines. Made from durable metal, it mounts to the choke spindle to regulate airflow during starting and warm-up, enriching the mixture so engines fire more reliably and settle to a steady idle. This unused old stock part offers an authentic replacement for worn or missing flaps, helping to restore the original performance of older machinery. It is suited to engines that were factory-fitted with the Zenith 13TC unit, including popular JAP variants such as the JAP 2A. As a Genuine Part, it matches original specifications for fit and function, supporting dependable operation on well-maintained or sympathetically restored equipment.
Key Features:
- Genuine Zenith part for correct fit and reliable performance on the 13TC carburettor
- Robust metal construction designed to withstand heat, vibration, and regular use
- Restores effective choke action for easier cold starts and smoother warm-up
- Accurate profile for proper sealing in the choke bore to minimise unwanted air leaks
- Suitable for many vintage JAP and Suffolk engine installations using Zenith 13TC
- Unused old stock; may show light tarnish or shelf marks that do not affect function
- Straightforward to install with standard hand tools; alignment checks recommended
- Ideal for restorations and preventative maintenance on classic small engines
Typical Applications:
Used on vintage small engines and stationary equipment fitted with Zenith 13TC carburettors, including many JAP and Suffolk-powered machines. Common in garden machinery, horticultural tools, and compact plant where dependable cold starting and stable running are required. Suitable for restoring original choke performance on engines maintained for work or preservation.
