Description

233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Needle, Seat, and Gasket Kit – For Gas Carburetors 


The 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Needle, Seat, and Gasket Kit is a high-quality replacement kit designed for use with gas carburetors. This kit includes everything you need to ensure proper fuel flow and a secure seal in your carburetor's fuel inlet system.


Key Features & Benefits:

  • Perfect for Gas Carburetors: The kit features a long gas seat, which is often used in gas carburetors. The fuel seat orifice in this kit is smaller than those used in carburetors running methanol, ensuring the right fuel flow for gas engines.
  • Uncaptured Needle Design: The included uncaptured needle is a popular choice for 4-cycle kart engines where the carburetor’s fuel inlet typically faces upward. The uncaptured needle does not get "captured" by the fulcrum arm lever. Instead, the lever simply rests on top of the needle, allowing smooth and consistent fuel delivery.
  • Versatile & Reliable: While this kit is ideal for gas carburetors, it’s always best to check your carburetor listing or measure the fuel orifice size before installing a new seat to ensure compatibility, especially if your carburetor has been blueprinted or modified for specific performance needs.

Kit Includes:

  • Long Gas Seat: Specially designed to accommodate gas carburetors with a smaller orifice than methanol carburetors.
  • Uncaptured Needle: Known for its reliability in 4-cycle engine carburetors where the fuel inlet is often facing upwards.
  • 16B-199 Copper Seat Gasket: A high-quality copper gasket to ensure a secure, leak-free seal between the needle and seat.

Important Considerations:

  • Seat Orifice & Length: Ensure the correct size by measuring both the fuel orifice and seat length of your existing components. This will help confirm compatibility, especially if you’re working with modified or blueprinted carburetors.
  • Not a Universal Fit: While the kit is ideal for gas carburetors, always check your carburetor specifications to make sure the seat and needle match the required setup for your engine.

FAQ

FAQ for 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Needle, Seat, and Gasket Kit


Q1: What is the 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Needle, Seat, and Gasket Kit used for?

A: This kit is designed to replace the fuel inlet needle, seat, and gasket in gas carburetors used in 4-cycle kart engines. It ensures proper fuel flow and a secure seal in your carburetor’s fuel inlet system, improving performance and reliability.


Q2: Does this kit work with methanol carburetors?

A: No, this kit is specifically designed for gas carburetors. The long gas seat in the kit has a smaller seat orifice than the ones typically used in methanol carburetors. For methanol engines, you'll need a different fuel inlet seat designed for higher fuel flow.


Q3: What is an "uncaptured needle"?

A: The uncaptured needle is a type of needle valve that is not captured by the fulcrum arm lever. Instead, the lever simply rests on top of the needle, allowing smooth fuel delivery. This design is often used in 4-cycle kart engines where the carburetor’s fuel inlet faces upward.


Q4: How do I know if this kit will fit my carburetor?

A: It’s important to check your carburetor listing or measure the fuel orifice and seat length before ordering. This will ensure that the 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Kit is compatible with your specific carburetor, especially if it has been blueprinted or modified.


Q5: What is included in the 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Kit?

A: The kit includes:

  • Long Gas Seat for gas carburetors
  • Uncaptured Needle for smooth fuel flow
  • 16B-199 Copper Seat Gasket to ensure a leak-free seal


Q6: Why is it important to measure the fuel orifice and seat length before installing this kit?

A: Measuring the fuel orifice and seat length is crucial to ensure that you are installing the correct seat for your carburetor. This is particularly important if your carburetor has been modified or blueprinted. Using the wrong size seat can result in poor fuel flow and compromised engine performance.


Q7: How do I install the 233-705 Tillotson Fuel Inlet Kit?

A: To install the kit, carefully remove the old fuel seat, needle, and gasket, ensuring the carburetor is clean and free of debris. Install the new long gas seat and uncaptured needle, and place the copper gasket in position. Ensure proper alignment to avoid fuel leaks. Always refer to your carburetor’s manual for specific instructions.


Q8: Can I use this kit for engines running ethanol or E85 fuel?

A: This kit is designed specifically for gas carburetors and is not compatible with ethanol or E85 fuel systems. Always check the fuel type requirements for your engine before purchasing parts.
