Description
Overview:
This tickler spring is a small, robust metal spring for the Villiers V Type carburettor, used on classic Villiers engines. It provides the return tension for the tickler (flooding) mechanism, helping to regulate priming and fuel flow for smooth starting and consistent running. Made from durable spring-grade metal, it is suitable for workshop repairs and routine maintenance on engines such as the Villiers MK10 and MK15. This is a Genuine Villiers part (OEM No. V369), supplied as unused old stock. As a vintage item it may show light tarnish or storage marks, but performance is unaffected. It is a practical replacement for worn or weakened springs that cause hard starting or over-fuelling, keeping older machinery dependable and easy to operate.
