Description
Overview:
The Strangler Spindle for Villiers S12 Carburettor (OEM V1338E) is a genuine Villiers component that restores accurate choke control in classic small engines. This precision‐made metal spindle supports and locates the choke butterfly inside the S12 carburettor, helping regulate the air-fuel mixture during starting and warm‐up. Built for durability, it is suitable for older lawn and garden machinery, small plant, and stationary engines that run an S12 carburettor. As unused old stock, parts may show age‐related tarnish or light storage wear, but this does not affect performance. Selecting the correct, original‐spec spindle keeps the choke action smooth and consistent, reducing air leaks and helping the engine start reliably and settle to a clean idle. Ideal for repairs, routine servicing, and sympathetic restorations.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers part for assured compatibility and fit (OEM No. V1338E)
- Designed specifically for the Villiers S12 carburettor choke mechanism
- Precision‐machined metal spindle for stable butterfly support and alignment
- Helps improve cold starting, warm‐up behaviour, and idle consistency
- Unused old stock; cosmetic tarnish or storage marks may be present
- Straightforward installation with basic hand tools; no modifications required
- Durable construction for long service life in outdoor and site conditions
- Maintains original specification for reliable, repeatable carburettor settings
Typical Applications:
Used during carburettor rebuilds or maintenance on vintage lawnmowers, rotavators, compact construction gear, pumps, and small generators fitted with a Villiers S12 carburettor. Replaces bent or worn spindles that cause stiff choke movement, excessive play, air leaks, hard starting, rich running, or poor fuel economy. Suitable for both routine servicing and restoration projects.
Also known as:
Choke spindle, choke shaft, strangler shaft, choke butterfly spindle, S12 carb spindle, Villiers carburettor spindle, V1338E spindle. These terms refer to the same component that carries and indexes the choke butterfly within the S12 carb body.
