Description
Overview:
This ball type float is a genuine Zenith component for the Zenith 13 TC carburettor, commonly fitted to JAP 2A and Suffolk engines used in vintage equipment. The spherical float is made from brass, chosen for its resistance to petrol and its stable buoyancy. It regulates fuel level in the float chamber by working with the needle valve, helping to prevent flooding and lean running, and supporting smooth starting and consistent idle. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light tarnishing or storage marks, but remains functionally as intended. This is an ideal replacement for maintaining originality and correct operation on engines equipped with the 13TC carburettor. A practical choice for restoration and ongoing maintenance where a correct, genuine part is required.
Key Features:
- Genuine Zenith part for the 13 TC carburettor
- Brass construction for durability and resistance to petrol and ethanol blends
- Correct buoyancy and geometry to suit the 13TC float chamber and needle valve
- Helps prevent flooding, hard starting, and erratic running by maintaining stable fuel level
- Direct replacement for worn or leaking floats; straightforward fitment with the original float arm
- Suitable for JAP 2/2A/2S and Suffolk applications using the 13TC carburettor
- Unused old stock; cosmetic tarnish does not affect performance
- Supports authentic restoration while maintaining engine reliability and fuel economy
Typical Applications:
Used in the float bowl of Zenith 13TC carburettors on small stationary engines, lawnmowers, pumps, generators, and similar vintage machinery. Ideal for restoring JAP 2A and Suffolk-powered equipment to original specification, or for routine maintenance where stable fuel control is required to improve starting, idle quality, and running consistency.
