Yamaha - Float Chamber Body - Carburetor Component - 6H3-14980-10-00

Overview

When a carb starts giving you trouble, sometimes it’s not the jets or the float—it’s the body itself. I’ve seen float chamber housings get warped, corroded, or just worn out from years of use, and once that happens, fuel control gets inconsistent fast. Swapping in a clean, solid body like this brings everything back to a stable baseline. It’s one of those foundational parts that makes the rest of the carb work the way it should.

Key Features

• Stable Fuel Reservoir – Maintains consistent fuel levels for proper carburetor operation.
• Precision Machined Housing – Ensures accurate fitment with internal carburetor components.
• Durable Construction – Built to resist corrosion and wear in marine environments.
• Factory-Spec Fitment – Matches Yamaha design for proper sealing and alignment.
• Supports Reliable Performance – Helps eliminate inconsistencies caused by damaged housings.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Designed for Yamaha outboard engines with compatible carbureted fuel systems. Commonly used across small to mid-range outboards on fishing boats, skiffs, and utility vessels. Always confirm part number compatibility before installation.
