The Wacker Neuson Choke Shaft Complete is a genuine OEM component designed for the BS50-2, BS60-2, BS65-V, and BS70-2 series vibratory rammers, including standard, oil-injected (2i), and variable-speed EU variants. As a direct Wacker Neuson factory part, the is built to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring a correct fit within the carburetor choke assembly. This Choke Shaft Complete covers a wide range of BS-series configurations — from 165mm/6in shoe models through to 330mm/13in shoe variants — making it a dependable choice for technicians servicing multiple rammer units. Confirm your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Choke Shaft Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original dimensional spec, ensuring the shaft seats and rotates correctly within the carburetor choke bore without binding or slack.
- Drop-In Carburetor Choke Replacement — Replaces the complete choke shaft assembly as a single unit, simplifying carburetor service and restoring correct choke plate actuation in one step.
- Broad BS-Series Coverage — Fits BS50-2, BS50-2i, BS60-2, BS60-2i, BS65-V, BS70-2, and BS70-2i rammers across standard, oil-injected, high-altitude, and EU-spec configurations.
- Restored Cold-Start Performance — A worn or stuck choke shaft causes hard starting and inconsistent enrichment; replacing it with part 5000179430 restores the full choke travel needed for reliable engine cold starts.
- Fuel System Integrity — A correctly functioning choke shaft is essential for proper air/fuel mixture control; a damaged shaft can cause chronic over-rich running, fouled plugs, and increased fuel consumption.
The choke shaft is the mechanical link between the choke control lever and the choke plate inside the carburetor. When the operator initiates a cold start, the shaft rotates to close the choke plate, restricting airflow and enriching the fuel mixture so the engine fires reliably in cold or low-temperature conditions. As the engine warms, the choke shaft opens the plate to restore normal air/fuel balance. When the shaft wears, corrodes, or breaks, the choke plate can no longer be positioned accurately — leading to hard starting, rough running, and stalling during warm-up. Replacing the complete shaft assembly restores full choke function and keeps the rammer starting consistently across job conditions.
