Carburetor Fittings

JEGS offers a wide selection of carburetor fittings designed to meet the fuel delivery needs of your vehicle. In this section, we will provide valuable information about carburetor fuel inlet fitting options, carburetor fuel line fittings, and how to choose the right carburetor fittings for your application.

Carburetor fittings play a crucial role in the fuel delivery system of a vehicle equipped with a carburetor. These fittings connect the fuel line to the carburetor, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection. They regulate the fuel flow and pressure, allowing the carburetor to function optimally and deliver the correct fuel-air mixture to the engine. Proper carburetor fittings are essential for maintaining fuel efficiency, performance, and overall engine reliability.

Determining the size of your carburetor is important when choosing the appropriate fittings. Follow these steps to identify the size of your carburetor:

1. Locate the carburetor identification number, typically stamped on the side or base of the carburetor.
2. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications or use an online resource to decode the identification number and determine the carburetor size.
3. Measure the throttle bore diameter and venturi size if necessary, as these are critical dimensions for carburetor sizing.

Selecting the correct carburetor fitting involves considering several factors:

1. Identify the type and size of the fuel line you are using or plan to use.
2. Determine the appropriate fitting thread size and type that matches your carburetor and fuel line specifications.
3. Consider the fitting material and ensure compatibility with the fuel type used (e.g., brass fittings for gasoline, stainless steel fittings for alcohol-based fuels).
4. Choose fittings with the necessary angles and configurations to accommodate your specific installation requirements.
5. Ensure a secure and tight connection by using high-quality fittings and following proper installation techniques.
