The Wacker Neuson Pilot Screw Set is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Wacker Neuson gasoline-powered equipment, including the G2.1A, G2.1AE, and G2.5A portable generator series, the BPU 2440A and BPU 2450A reversible vibratory plates, the BPS1135A single-direction vibratory plate, the BFS 100 gasoline floor saw, and the PG2A and A3000/A5000 gasoline power units for internal vibrators. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number ensures the correct specification and fit for your machine's carburetor. This genuine OEM set gives you confidence that the fuel-air mixture calibration will meet the original design parameters across every compatible model. Keep a spare on hand — pilot screw wear is one of the most common causes of rough idle and poor throttle response on small-engine equipment.
Key Features
- Correct Carburetor Calibration: — Engineered to the original mixture-screw specification, ensuring accurate fuel-air ratio control at idle and low throttle across all compatible engines.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, so material grade, thread pitch, and taper angle match the original exactly as installed at the factory.
- Broad Fitment Across Multiple Equipment Families: — Fits G-series 50Hz portable generators, GS5.5A, G7AI, BPU 2440A/2450A reversible vibratory plates, BPS1135A vibratory plate, BFS 100 floor saw, PG2A, and A3000/A5000 power units.
- Restores Clean Idle and Throttle Response: — A worn or damaged pilot screw causes rough idling, stalling, and inconsistent RPM; replacing it with 5000071017 brings the engine back to stable, responsive operation.
- Fuel System Integrity: — Proper seating of the pilot screw prevents unmetered air from entering the carburetor circuit, protecting downstream fuel system components from lean-running damage.
The pilot screw — also called the mixture screw or air-fuel screw — is a small but critical carburetor component that meters the fuel-air mixture delivered to the engine at idle and light-load conditions. It is precision-tapered so that small adjustments produce measurable changes in mixture richness; incorrect fit or a worn taper means the engine cannot be tuned to run cleanly. When the pilot screw is damaged, stripped, or missing its O-ring and spring, the engine typically idles roughly, hunts for RPM, or stalls under load — symptoms that are easy to misdiagnose as carburetor or ignition failures. Replacing the complete set restores the sealing surfaces and adjustment range the carburetor was designed around.
