Description

711-M Machined 5/16" Socket – Tillotson Carburetor Inlet Seat Removal Tool


Remove Tillotson inlet seats safely and accurately with EC’s 711-M Machined Socket, designed specifically for Tillotson diaphragm carburetors. Unlike standard sockets, which don't fit properly and can damage the carburetor body or seat, the 711-M is precision-machined to engage the inlet seat without slipping or stripping.


This tool is essential for removing or replacing the fuel inlet seat when diagnosing or correcting a leak beneath the seat—one of the few times this component should ever be serviced.


Key Features:

  • Custom-Machined 5/16" Socket for Tillotson carburetor inlet seats
  • Perfect fit for WA, WB, and similar Tillotson diaphragm carbs
  • Prevents seat or carburetor body damage during removal
  • Durable, high-quality construction built for repeated use
  • A must-have tool for serious carburetor builders and repair techs


Important Note:

EC does not recommend removing the inlet seat during routine carburetor rebuilds. Only service or replace the seat if there is a confirmed leak under the seat. Improper removal can damage the carburetor body or seating surface.


If you're unsure or uncomfortable with this process, we recommend sending your carburetor to EC for professional service. Proper instructions and procedures are available if you choose to service it yourself.


The EC 711-M Machined Socket ensures precise, damage-free inlet seat removal—something no standard tool can guarantee.
