The Wacker Neuson Main Jet is a genuine OEM carburetor main jet designed for VP and AP series single-direction vibratory plate compactors, including the VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R. As a direct OEM replacement, the is manufactured to the exact dimensions and flow specification of the original part, ensuring proper fuel metering from day one. This is the correct service part for restoring carburetor function on these Wacker Neuson value plate and asphalt plate models.
Key Features
- Calibrated Fuel Flow: — Sized to the exact orifice diameter of the original jet, delivering the correct air-fuel ratio for consistent engine performance across the VP and AP plate compactor range.
- Genuine OEM Part: — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this jet carries the same part number and specification used on the production line — no substitution or re-engineering required.
- Drop-In Carburetor Fitment: — Threads directly into the carburetor body of compatible VP and AP series plates, replacing the worn or fouled jet without additional hardware or adaptation.
- Broad Series Coverage: — Fits VP1340R, VP1340RW, VP1550R, VP1550RW, VP2050R, VP2050RW, and AP1550R vibratory plate compactors — a single part number covering the full value plate lineup.
- Restored Engine Responsiveness: — A worn or clogged main jet causes rough running, lean stumble, and loss of compaction force. Replacing it with the correct 5000158373 restores smooth throttle response and full centrifugal force output.
The main jet is a precision-machined orifice fitted inside the carburetor's main circuit. It meters the volume of fuel drawn into the airstream under mid-to-full throttle conditions, directly controlling the engine's air-fuel mixture during normal operation. When a main jet becomes clogged with varnish or debris, or wears beyond its rated orifice size, the engine runs lean, loses power, and may stall under load — reducing the compaction force the plate delivers to the substrate. Replacing the jet with the correct OEM-spec part restores proper fuel delivery and full engine output.
