Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace the needle valve too? A: When replacing a carburetor float, pairing it with a fresh needle valve helps prevent future fuel level issues. Check your carburetor condition before final assembly.

Q: Will this fit both carbs on my machine? A: Many twin-carb setups use the same float per side, so order the quantity matching your carburetor count. Confirm against your model's parts diagram before buying.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
