Description
Overview:
This genuine Zenith choke/strangler spindle (OEM 012803) is a precision-machined vintage component for the Zenith 24T carburettor used on classic JAP and Villiers engines. Made from robust brass for smooth operation and corrosion resistance, the spindle rotates the choke flap to regulate the air-fuel mixture, improving cold starting and overall running. It is suitable for restorations and maintenance of engines such as the JAP 3 and Villiers MK20 that originally used the 24T carburettor. As unused old stock, the part may show light tarnishing from storage, but performance is unaffected. Designed to match original specifications, it helps maintain authenticity, reliability and proper carburettor function on period equipment used in workshops, gardens, small plant, and general purpose stationary engine applications.
Key Features:
- Genuine Zenith OEM part for the 24T carburettor (No. 012803)
- Brass construction for durability, corrosion resistance and smooth spindle movement
- Correct dimensions and fit to preserve original choke operation and linkage alignment
- Supports reliable cold starting and stable mixture control on vintage engines
- Direct replacement with no modification to the carburettor body required
- Unused old stock; cosmetic tarnishing from age may be present only
- Suitable for JAP and Villiers applications where a Zenith 24T is fitted
- Helps retain originality and value on classic restorations
Typical Applications:
Used when refurbishing or servicing Zenith 24T carburettors on JAP and Villiers engines in classic stationary equipment, compact site machinery, pumps, generators, and garden machinery of the period. Ideal for correcting worn or bent choke spindles that cause weak starting, air leaks, or inconsistent mixture control during cold starts and warm-up.
