FAQs

What does "oversized float bowl" actually do?

An oversized float bowl holds a larger reserve of fuel, helping to prevent the engine from momentarily starving during rapid acceleration, braking, or high-G maneuvers, thus reducing bogging.

Is this compatible with all Keihin carburetors?

This specific part number (AT FLOATBOWL KEI OR) is designed for certain Keihin carburetor models. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific carburetor before purchasing.

How do I clean the anodised orange finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Where is this product manufactured?

This product is proudly made in the UK.

Can I use this on a non-Keihin carburetor?

No, this float bowl bolt is specifically designed for Keihin carburetors and will not fit other brands or types.

Will this increase my engine's horsepower?

This component is designed to improve fuel delivery consistency and prevent bogging, not to directly increase horsepower. Consistent fuel delivery can lead to more predictable power output.

Troubleshooting

Engine bogs down under load

Ensure the float bowl is correctly installed and the float level is set according to manufacturer specifications. Check for any obstructions in the fuel passages.

Fuel leak from float bowl

Verify that the float bowl is securely tightened and that the gasket (if applicable) is properly seated and undamaged. Inspect the bowl for any cracks.

Difficulty fitting the float bowl

Double-check that you have a Keihin carburetor and that this specific float bowl model is compatible. Ensure no debris is present in the mating surfaces.
