Yamaha - Float Chamber Cover - Carburetor Component - 6D8-14182-20-00

Overview

This float chamber cover is one of those parts that seals up the bottom end of your carburetor and keeps everything contained where it should be. It doesn’t get much attention, but when it starts leaking or warping, you’ll notice fuel issues pretty quick. I’ve seen plenty of motors come in with simple problems traced back to a worn cover or bad seal here. Keep it tight and sealed, and your carb stays consistent and dependable.
