If a saturated, leaking, or sunken float is the cause of flooding, hard starting, or an unstable idle, this float replaces the worn original. Nitrophyl versions are molded to resist fuel absorption, which is a common concern with modern ethanol-blended fuels. Helps restore consistent fuel control with an application-specific Walker Products float.

Walker Products carburetor floats are offered in brass or Nitrophyl designs matched to the OE specification for the application. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct float for your vehicle.
