Description
Overview:
This genuine Zenith Tickler Spring (OEM No. 015454) is a small but essential component for the Zenith 13TC carburettor used on many vintage JAP engines, including the JAP 2A and JAP 2S. Made from durable spring steel, it provides the correct return tension for the tickler/priming plunger, helping to flood the carburettor for cold starts and restoring proper operation when the original spring has weakened or broken. Supplied as unused vintage old stock, it may show light tarnish or storage marks, but remains functionally sound. Ideal for restorers, workshops, and anyone maintaining classic machinery that relies on the Zenith 13TC carburettor, this genuine part helps keep heritage engines running reliably and as intended.
