Description
The Keihin 1062 818 2001 needle valve is the heart of fuel level control in many 28 mm, 38 mm, and 40 mm Keihin and CDKII carburetors. As the tip and seat wear, fuel height in the bowl becomes inconsistent, leading to flooding, lean surging, or a mixture that changes from ride to ride. Installing a fresh genuine needle valve restores precise metering so your jetting changes deliver predictable results.
This component works in conjunction with the float arm and fulcrum pin to shut off fuel flow when the correct level is reached. Keihin engineers the taper, tip material, and spring rate to match specific carburetor families, giving your engine a stable platform for fine tuning. Whether you are rebuilding a trail ski or prepping a race boat, renewing the needle valve is essential to long term reliability.
