Yamaha - Float Chamber Body - Carburetor Housing - 69H-14980-00-00

Overview

When you’re working on carbureted Yamahas, the float chamber body is where everything comes together. It holds the fuel, supports the float system, and keeps things sealed so the engine runs clean. If this housing gets warped, cracked, or worn, you’ll end up chasing fuel issues that don’t make sense at first. I’ve learned over time that a solid chamber body makes all the difference in keeping a carb running steady.

Key Features

• Fuel Containment Housing – Provides a stable chamber to hold fuel at the correct level for carburetor operation.
• Precision Yamaha Fitment – Designed to match factory dimensions for proper sealing and alignment.
• Durable Construction – Built to handle fuel exposure, vibration, and engine heat over time.
• Supports Internal Components – Houses and stabilizes the float and needle system for reliable function.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Compatible with Yamaha outboard engines using carbureted fuel systems. Commonly found on smaller to mid-horsepower Yamaha motors across a variety of boats, including skiffs, utility boats, and recreational setups.
