Description
Overview:
The Carb Choke Plate for Villiers C12 (reference 31363) is a genuine vintage replacement part for Villiers carburettors. Made from robust metal, it regulates the air supply during engine start-up by closing or restricting the intake, helping the engine draw a richer mixture for cold starts and then settle to normal running. It is intended for classic Villiers-powered machinery and small engines found on older equipment, and suits restorers and maintainers who want original fit and function. This choke plate is designed for the Villiers B10/1 and C12, offering a dependable, period-correct solution. Supplied as unused old stock, it retains its vintage authenticity and may show light ageing or tarnish that does not affect performance.
