Product Overview
A Prairie that has been parked with fuel in the bowl may come back with clogged jets, a stuck float, fuel leakage, or a dead spot when the throttle opens. This complete carburetor is for owners who have already traced the problem to the fuel-metering assembly and want a stock-style replacement.
Fresh fuel and a clean tank are just as important as the new carburetor. Old debris, a cracked intake boot, or incorrect valve clearance can make a replacement carb seem faulty.

Compatibility Notice
Some catalogs begin KVF400 coverage in 1997. This listing claims 1998-2002; match the exact original number, choke setup, throttle linkage, and inlet diameters.
Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application not shown.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can stale fuel ruin a carburetor? A: Yes. Evaporated gasoline leaves deposits that block small passages and can stick the float valve.
Q: Will this stop every fuel leak? A: It can correct a leaking carburetor, but the petcock, hoses, tank vent, and fuel level also need inspection.
Q: Does it fit both 2x4 and 4x4 Prairie 400 models? A: Yes, for the compatible 1998-2002 KVF400 applications listed.
Q: Is tuning required? A: Final idle, mixture, and cable settings should be checked after installation.
