Good To Know

Q: Will this float fit my 1997 Powder Special 580? A: Yes, the 6505-049 is listed for the 1997 Powder Special 580. Check your serial number and engine size to be certain before ordering.

Q: Do I need to replace the whole clutch or just the float? A: If the float itself is worn or seized but the rest of the clutch is sound, replacing just the float restores proper alignment. Inspect sheaves, weights, and springs at the same time.

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