Description
This is a updated float for the HS2 Carburetor the Austin Healey Sprite 1961 to 1969. There were many carburetors during this run but all used the same floats, they are correct for AUC990, AUD136, AUD266, AUD238, AUD404, AUD502 and AUD549. See below for instructions.
Tired of the original style floats that crack and fill with fuel? We were, too. Our new floats are molded from a modern, American-made material called Nitrophyl®, which is now specified for just about every modern fuel float. It will not crack or absorb fuel and is immune to a variety of fluids, including the new fuel formulations. Eliminate warranty issues and unhappy customers! HS carbs with the later all float and delrin type needle.
Fitting instructions: The gap between the float and the lid face should be between 0.062" and 0.187" with the float resting on the needle but not depressing it. If adjustment is required t you will need to add a shim under the needle and seat assembly to get the correct height. Cross Ref.# 378-470, WZX1300
