Description
Overview:
The Strangler Spindle is a genuine Zenith OEM replacement for the choke mechanism on Zenith 13TC carburettors used with classic JAP LA and JAP LS petrol engines. Made from robust steel, it supports the choke (strangler) butterfly, allowing smooth, reliable operation during cold starts and routine running. As a critical moving part in the carburettor, a straight, unworn spindle helps maintain correct airflow and fuel mixture, improving starting and idle quality on vintage machinery. Supplied as unused old stock with original geometry, it preserves the originality of period engines while restoring dependable performance. Part number 015530 ensures the correct fit for the intended carburettor, making it a practical choice for restorations, rebuilds, or preventative maintenance on classic stationary engines.
