Yamaha - Float Chamber Cover - Carburetor Housing Component - 6FM-14182-00-00

Overview

When you’re working on a carb, sealing everything back up properly is just as important as what’s inside. I’ve seen engines run rough or leak fuel simply because the float bowl cover wasn’t sitting right anymore. This piece keeps the fuel contained and the carb functioning the way it should. When it’s sealed correctly, you get consistent fuel delivery and a smoother-running motor.
