Description

Tillotson Ram Flow 014A Captured Needle & Seat – High-Flow Kit for HL & HR Carburetors


The Tillotson Ram Flow 014A Captured Needle & Seat is a high-performance fuel delivery upgrade, originally developed for racers running methanol (alky) fuel in demanding environments. Designed with durability, fuel flow, and racing conditions in mind, this kit is ideal for dirt track racing, high-vibration applications, and V-Twin engines.


Key Features:

  • High-flow CNC-machined brass seat
    – Features evenly spaced radial ports to maximize fuel delivery into the metering cavity
  • Captured needle valve included for stable operation
  • Also includes an uncaptured needle
    – Recommended for use in rough terrain or high-vibration conditions, such as dirt racing or off-road applications
  • Needle features a metal body with a fluoropolymer elastomer tip
    – Fuel-resistant design (methanol compatible), though not fuel-proof


Fitment & Compatibility:

  • Fits most Tillotson HL and HR carburetors with a 0.5315" seat length
  • Commonly used in:
    • V-Twin racing engines
    • Methanol-fueled small engines
    • Dirt track and kart racing applications


Maintenance Tip:

Because methanol is highly corrosive, it’s critical to flush your carburetor thoroughly after each race to maintain needle seal integrity and prevent premature wear.


Includes:

  • CNC brass seat
  • Captured needle valve
  • Uncaptured needle valve (for high-vibration use)


FAQ

Q1: What carburetors are compatible with the Tillotson Ram Flow 014A needle & seat?
A: This needle and seat kit fits most Tillotson HL and HR carburetors with a seat length of 0.5315 inches, commonly used in small engines, karting, and V-Twin racing setups.


Q2: What is the difference between the captured and uncaptured needles included in this kit?
A: The captured needle provides stable fuel control for general use, while the uncaptured needle is recommended for high-vibration or rough terrain environments, such as dirt track racing, where more flexibility is needed.


Q3: Is this needle and seat suitable for methanol (alky) fuel?
A: Yes, the kit was designed with methanol racing in mind. The needle tip is made of a fluoropolymer elastomer resistant to methanol, but regular carburetor flushing after use is critical to prevent corrosion and wear.


Q4: How should I maintain my carburetor when using methanol fuel?
A: Because methanol is corrosive, it’s essential to flush your carburetor thoroughly after each race to keep the needle and seat in good condition and prevent flooding or leaks.


Q5: Can this needle and seat kit improve carburetor fuel flow?
A: Yes, the CNC-machined brass seat with radial ports is specifically designed to increase fuel flow into the metering cavity, improving fuel delivery under high-demand racing conditions.
