Description
Overview:
The Throttle Plate for Villiers B10/1 Carburettor (MPN V1240E) is a genuine Villiers replacement for classic lightweight petrol engines. Made from durable brass, this precisely formed disc mounts on the throttle spindle to regulate airflow through the carburettor, helping to stabilise idle and throttle response under load. Built to original specification for the B10/1 carb, and commonly used on engines such as B10/1 and C12, it restores correct fit and sealing at small openings for dependable running. Brass offers good resistance to corrosion and fuel exposure, supporting long service life in older machinery. Supplied as unused old stock, it is ideal for maintenance or sympathetic restoration where authenticity, correct geometry, and reliable operation are priorities.
