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: Why does the engine run only with the choke on? A: That often points to a lean condition from restricted fuel flow or an intake leak, so both should be tested.
Q: Will this carburetor be perfectly adjusted out of the box? A: Not for every engine, altitude, intake, or exhaust setup. Final adjustment may be required.
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.
