The Wacker Neuson Carburetor is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the WP1550RW and WP1550R single-direction vibratory plate compactors and the PT2R centrifugal trash pump series. As a factory-sourced component, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original part, ensuring proper fuel metering and consistent engine performance across these machines. Verify your model number before ordering — this carburetor is confirmed to fit the WP1550RW, WP1550R, and PT2R where this part number is listed.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fuel Calibration — Manufactured to the same fuel-to-air metering specification as the original, maintaining correct mixture ratios for stable idle and full-throttle operation.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Matches the original mounting points, fuel inlet, and throttle linkage connection of the factory carburetor for a straightforward swap.
- Confirmed Fitment — Compatible with WP1550RW and WP1550R vibratory plate compactors and PT2R centrifugal trash pumps where part number 5000118046 applies.
- Consistent Engine Output — A properly functioning carburetor keeps the engine running at the power level these machines need for effective compaction and pump output; a worn or clogged unit causes hard starting, rough running, and loss of performance.
- Fuel System Integrity — OEM construction uses materials rated for continuous fuel exposure, helping prevent degradation, leaks, and fuel delivery issues over the service life of the part.
A carburetor mixes air and fuel in the correct ratio before delivering the mixture to the engine for combustion. On small gasoline engines like those found in vibratory plate compactors and trash pumps, the carburetor controls both idle speed and wide-open throttle output, making it directly responsible for how the engine starts, idles, and responds under load. When a carburetor wears out, becomes clogged with varnish deposits, or develops internal leaks, the engine may be hard to start, run rough, surge at idle, or lose power — all of which affect the machine's ability to do its job effectively.
