Product Description
The Genuine Kawasaki carburetor mounting system for FJ180V engines consists of three critical components:
- 16073-2240 Insulator: A rigid plastic/composite spacer that isolates the carburetor from engine heat, preventing fuel vaporization (vapor lock) and ensuring consistent fuel delivery.
- 11061-2215 Gaskets (x2): Two thin, precision-cut gaskets that create airtight seals between the insulator and the cylinder head on one side, and between the insulator and the carburetor on the other side.
This complete 3-piece kit ensures you have all the components needed for proper carburetor installation. The gaskets prevent vacuum leaks that can cause rough running, while the insulator protects the carburetor from excessive heat.
These components work together to:
- Prevent vacuum leaks that cause rough idle and poor performance
- Isolate heat from the engine to prevent fuel percolation
- Maintain proper carburetor alignment for correct throttle linkage operation
- Provide proper spacing for the carburetor mounting studs
