This listing is for the individual float needle valve only, not the complete carburettor or needle and seat kit.
Important – Check Compatibility
Please confirm your engine model, serial number and original carburettor part number before ordering.
Some earlier carburettors use a different needle, seat and float hinge arrangement. These components must not be mixed with incompatible versions.
If the part looks the same as yours, this does not always mean it is correct for your outboard.
If unsure, contact SSI Marine with your engine details before purchasing.
