Wells 9F1178 Replacement Carburetor Float

The Wells 9F1178 is a direct-fit replacement carburetor float designed to restore proper fuel level control in carbureted engines. The carburetor float regulates the amount of fuel entering the float bowl by actuating the needle valve — rising with the fuel level to shut off flow when the correct level is reached, and dropping to allow fuel in as it is consumed.

A faulty or fuel-saturated float can cause hard starting, rough idle, rich running conditions, flooding, or fuel leaking from the carburetor. Replacing a worn or damaged float with a quality aftermarket unit like the Wells 9F1178 is a cost-effective step in a carburetor rebuild or tune-up.

Key Features:

• All-new construction — contains no remanufactured components
• Engineered to match original equipment float geometry and buoyancy
• Helps maintain correct fuel level for consistent engine performance
• Compatible with carbureted gasoline engines in passenger car and light truck applications
• Suitable for city and highway driving conditions

The Wells 9F1178 carburetor float is manufactured by Wells Vehicle Electronics (WVE), a trusted supplier of engine management and fuel system components with over a century of experience in the automotive aftermarket.
