The Wacker Neuson Body Assembly Air Purge is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-2, BS60-2, BS70-2, BS65-V, and MS52/MS62 series vibratory rammers, including both standard and oil-injected variants. As a factory-sourced part, the is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component it replaces, ensuring a correct installation without guesswork. This assembly covers an extensive range of BS-series rammer configurations — from 165mm shoe models through 330mm shoe variants — across both domestic and EU-spec machines. When your rammer's air purge system needs attention, sourcing the correct OEM body assembly is the straightforward path to restoring proper engine function.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional specifications, ensuring the air purge passages and sealing surfaces match factory tolerances exactly.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Designed to install into the carburetor/air system of BS-series two-cycle rammers using the existing mounting points, with no reworking of surrounding components.
- Broad BS-Series Compatibility: — Confirmed fitment across BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, BS70-2i, MS52, and MS62 rammer models in multiple shoe size and regional configurations.
- Restored Cold-Start Performance: — A functioning air purge body allows the operator to clear fuel from the carburetor circuit before starting, improving first-pull starting and reducing flooded-engine issues.
- Fuel System Integrity: — A cracked or degraded air purge body can introduce air leaks into the fuel delivery path, causing lean-running conditions, hard starts, or erratic engine behavior — replacing it restores a sealed, stable fuel circuit.
The air purge body assembly is the structural housing that contains the primer/purge circuit on a two-cycle rammer's carburetor system. When the operator presses the purge bulb, fuel is drawn through this body to displace air from the fuel lines and carburetor, allowing for consistent and reliable engine starting — particularly in cold conditions or after the machine has sat unused. If the body cracks, warps, or its internal passages become blocked or degraded, the purge function fails, making the engine difficult or impossible to start and potentially causing rough running as air enters the fuel system. Replacing the 5000175308 Body Assembly Air Purge restores the integrity of the entire purge circuit and gets the rammer back to consistent operation.
