Description
Overview:
This Float Chamber Cover is a genuine Amal component for the Type 391 carburettor (OEM No. 379/038). It is a robust metal cover, commonly produced in brass, that seals the float chamber to maintain correct fuel level and prevent leaks. Accurate fuel control helps engines idle cleanly and run smoothly across the rev range. This cover is suited to classic equipment and small machinery fitted with an Amal Type 391, where a precise, leak-free seal is essential for dependable performance. As an unused vintage part, it may show light tarnishing or storage marks, which does not affect function and suits period restorations. Use the OEM number to confirm compatibility and keep your carburettor in original specification with a correct-fit, Genuine Amal part.
