Description
Overview:
This Tickler and Spring is a genuine Villiers part for the S‐series carburettors found on classic small engines and machinery. Supplied under OEM part number V742E, it includes a metal tickler plunger and a robust coil spring that work together to give manual priming of the carburettor. Pressing the tickler briefly enriches the mixture by lifting the float, helping engines to start and settle more smoothly. Made from durable metal components suited to fuel contact, it is a direct service replacement for vintage Villiers units such as the S19 and S22. As new old stock, the part is unused but may show light tarnish from age, which does not affect performance. It is a practical, authentic choice for restoration and maintenance of period equipment.
Key Features:
- Genuine Villiers OEM component (V742E) for assured compatibility and fit
- Metal tickler plunger with durable coil spring for consistent priming action
- Helps cold and after-storage starts by providing manual fuel enrichment
- Retains original operation and look on restorations of vintage machinery
- Straightforward to fit with basic workshop tools, minimising downtime
- Suitable for routine servicing or as a like-for-like replacement of worn parts
- Stable materials selected for use in petrol fuel environments
- New old stock: unused original part; minor cosmetic ageing may be present
- Supports smoother running by aiding initial fuel delivery to the carburettor
- Appropriate for professional workshops and DIY maintenance alike
Typical Applications:
Used on classic British small engines and equipment fitted with Villiers carburettors, including stationary engines, mowers, rotavators, generators, and light construction plant. Ideal for restoring reliable starting and preserving authenticity on vintage projects, or for keeping hard‐working legacy machines operational.
