The Wacker Neuson 160460 is a genuine OEM Carburetor Kit designed for the BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, and BS70-2i series gasoline vibratory rammers. As a direct OEM replacement sourced through the Wacker Neuson parts program, the 160460 is manufactured to the same specifications as the original unit installed at the factory. This kit covers a wide range of BS-series rammer configurations, including standard, oil-injected, variable speed, and high-altitude variants with shoe sizes ranging from 165 mm to 330 mm. When your rammer is running rough, stalling, or refusing to start, the 160460 Carburetor Kit is the correct service solution to restore proper fuel delivery.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fuel Metering Accuracy — Engineered to the same fuel-to-air ratio calibration as the original carburetor, ensuring the engine runs at the correct mixture under load without hunting or stalling.
- Complete Kit Format — Includes the internal carburetor components needed for a full service rebuild, so you have everything required in a single part number rather than sourcing individual components separately.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility — Fits BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, and BS70-2i rammers across standard, oil-injected, variable speed, and high-altitude configurations.
- Restored Starting and Throttle Response — A worn or gummed carburetor causes hard starting, erratic idle, and loss of compaction force; replacing it with 160460 brings throttle response and full-stroke power back to spec.
- Fuel System Integrity — Using a genuine OEM carburetor kit on a fuel-system component ensures proper sealing of internal passages, reducing the risk of unmetered fuel delivery that can damage the engine over time.
The carburetor is the component responsible for mixing air and fuel in the correct proportion before delivery to the engine's combustion chamber. On a vibratory rammer like the BS50-2 through BS70-2 series, the engine must maintain consistent power output through thousands of impacts per minute, making precise fuel metering critical to both performance and engine longevity. When a carburetor degrades — through varnish buildup from stale fuel, worn needle seats, or deteriorated gaskets — the engine loses the ability to hold a stable idle, develop full power under load, or start reliably, making timely carburetor service essential to keeping the rammer productive on the jobsite.
