★ This float is manufactured from modern ethanol-resistant material, which is a necessary improvement over the original float when using contemporary E10 fuels.
Installation notes
Float height must be adjusted after installation using the Carter T109-80 float level gauge. Verify that the float pin and spring are correctly positioned. Bend only the brass lip of the float bracket to adjust the level — maintain the curvature of the lip for correct operation of the needle valve.
Compatibility
Exclusively suitable for Carter WO carburettor. Not compatible with other Carter models such as YF, YFA, WA-1 or WE — these use different float constructions.
Historical context
The Carter WO carburettor was standard equipment on WWII Jeeps and early civilian models with the L-134 'Go Devil' engine. The original floats were not designed for ethanol fuel, making modern replacements in ethanol-resistant material necessary.
