Description
Overview:
The Float Needle to suit Amal Carburettors (OEM 22/013) is a small but vital fuel control component used in many classic machines fitted with Amal carburettors. This genuine Amal part is typically made from precision-machined brass to deliver a positive seal at the fuel inlet, regulating the fuel level in the float chamber. By shutting off fuel flow at the correct height, it prevents flooding, overflow, hard starting, and poor running. It is well suited to the maintenance and restoration of older motorcycles, stationary engines, and small machinery that rely on Amal carburettor systems. As unused old stock, the needle may show light tarnishing or minor age marks, but this does not affect function and is often preferred for authentic period-correct restorations.
Key Features:
- Genuine Amal part for correct fit and function (OEM 22/013)
- Brass construction for durability and consistent sealing performance
- Regulates fuel flow to maintain the correct float level and prevent overflow
- Helps improve starting, idle stability, and throttle response on vintage machines
- Suitable for routine service or full restorations of Amal-equipped engines
- Drop-in replacement in compatible Amal carburettors; no modifications normally required
- Manufactured to original specifications for reliable, repeatable operation
- Unused old stock; may display cosmetic tarnish consistent with age
- Ideal for owners seeking authentic components rather than pattern alternatives
- Supports long service life when used with a sound float, seat, and clean fuel system
Typical Applications:
Used in Amal carburettors on classic motorcycles, small industrial engines, generators, garden machinery, and heritage plant where precise fuel level control is essential. Common in restoration projects, routine carburettor overhauls, and fault-finding where symptoms include flooding, fuel weep from overflow, rich running, or inconsistent idle.
Also known as:
Fuel inlet needle, float chamber needle, needle valve (carburettor), float valve needle, fuel shut-off needle, carb fuel control needle. These terms refer to the same function: sealing the fuel inlet to maintain the correct level in the float bowl on Amal-equipped systems.
