The needle valve, also called the inlet valve, opens and closes in response to the float level, allowing fuel to enter the bowl when the level drops and shutting off flow when the correct fuel level is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis OEM needle valve is precision-ground to seat properly in the carburetor body's valve seat. A worn or damaged needle valve can cause fuel overflow (flooding), inconsistent fuel levels in the float bowl, or fuel starvation under high demand. These issues directly affect carburetor performance and can cause anything from a rough idle to complete engine shutdown during racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Briggs \u0026amp; Stratton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 555648\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Briggs 206 kart racing engine carburetor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFunction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regulates fuel flow into float bowl via float mechanism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe float needle valve is a high-wear item and should be inspected during every carburetor rebuild. Look for grooves, ridges, or discoloration on the needle tip that indicate a worn seal. Replacing the needle valve along with inspecting the float is a standard part of Briggs 206 carburetor maintenance.
