Product Overview
A Bearcat that floods, only runs with choke, hesitates, or has been parked with old fuel may have corrosion inside passages that cleaning cannot reverse. Tank debris, restricted venting, intake leaks, valve clearance, compression, and ignition should be checked first—especially because 2x4 and 4x4 calibration can differ.
The carburetor controls fuel and air through the Mikuni BST34-style circuits. Match the casting, cables, choke, boots, vents, and original number, then verify jetting for the exact drivetrain and altitude instead of assuming a replacement is ready for every 454.

Compatibility Notice
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Model, production date, serial number, electrical or fuel-system version, dimensions, installed options, and previous repairs can affect fitment. Compare the original part and application information before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the same jetting correct for every Bearcat 454? A: Do not assume it is. Drivetrain version, altitude, intake, exhaust, and engine condition can require the factory calibration for that machine.
Q: Will a new carburetor fix low compression? A: No. Compression and valve sealing problems can imitate carburetor faults and must be tested separately.
Q: How do I confirm fitment before ordering? A: Match the original reference number where available, then compare the removed part, dimensions, connections, mounting details, model, serial or production information, and package photos.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket part. Brand names and reference numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
