The Wacker Neuson is a genuine OEM Choke Shutter Valve designed for the BS50-2i and BS60-2i series vibratory rammers, including standard and oil-injected variants sold in both domestic and EU configurations. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM component, part is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring a correct installation without guesswork. Compatible models include the BS60-2i EU, BS60-2i, BS60-2 EU, BS60-2, BS50-2i EU, and BS50-2i rammers, covering both 250mm/10 in and 280mm/11 in shoe configurations. When your choke valve is worn or damaged, swapping in the correct OEM replacement keeps cold-start performance where it needs to be on the jobsite.
Key Features
- Exact OEM Choke Geometry — Manufactured to the original shutter dimensions so the valve seats and rotates correctly within the carburetor air intake bore, delivering the intended fuel-to-air ratio during cold starts.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson Part — Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, part number 5000164974 carries the full OEM designation with no substitution of materials or tolerances.
- Broad BS-Series Fitment — Confirmed for BS50-2i and BS60-2i rammers in both standard and oil-injected configurations, as well as EU-market variants across 250mm and 280mm shoe sizes.
- Restores Cold-Start Throttle Response — A correctly functioning choke shutter enriches the fuel mixture at startup; a worn or sticking valve leads to hard starting, rough running, and excessive cranking wear on the recoil system.
- Fuel System Integrity — Because this valve controls air flow into the carburetor, using a correctly dimensioned OEM shutter helps prevent lean-running conditions that can overheat the engine and cause premature internal wear.
The choke shutter valve is a small flap mounted in the carburetor air intake that temporarily restricts airflow to create a rich fuel mixture when the engine is cold. This enriched mixture makes it easier for the engine to fire and reach operating temperature, particularly in cool or cold ambient conditions. When the shutter is cracked, warped, or seized, the engine may fail to start, run erratically at low temperatures, or require excessive choke cycling — all of which put unnecessary strain on the ignition and fuel delivery systems of the rammer.
