Yamaha - Float Chamber Body - Carburetor Component - 6BX-14980-00-00

Overview

When a carb isn’t running right, a lot of times the issue starts right here in the float chamber. This body is what holds the fuel and works with the float to keep levels steady before it feeds the engine. If it’s worn, warped, or not sealing properly, you’ll see flooding or inconsistent performance pretty quickly. I’ve fixed plenty of rough-running motors just by sorting out this section.

Key Features
