Carb float needle needed
« on: August 13, 2022, 02:41:20 PM »
With no success I’ve been trying to find a float needle for my 2008.
Had one on order for over a month then it was cancelled .
PN 16950-KHB4-900

Anyone have a replacement number in Honda or K&L ? Must be a quality part please .

Thank you

I'd try another dealer. I looked up the part code for the S200 and came up with

   People S 200 - FLOAT VALVE ASSY - 16179-KEC3-900

I'm assuming you're in the US? Is that correct?

Ok, so we're all referencing different parts. OP is asking about the vacuum petcock (based on part # lookup). This is likely a part shared by multiple carbureted models. Hope the OP didn't order from Solano Cycle in FL as you will grow old before getting your order!

I use PJ Motorsports for Keihin/Mikuni carburetor jets/parts, etc.  Go to pjmotorsports.com  But if your machine has a "Kymco" carburetor, you may find a Keihin part will fit, but it might not.  Then you'll have to find a Kymco parts supplier. Although many Kawasaki ATVs have Kymco motors, not all of them have Kymco carburetors.  Good luck!

@Tri750, don't worry about finding exactely this part.
Any aftermarket caburator will work with small alterations, if not even better, did several of them already.
Pls see link...

Just don't go over 26-28 mm gas side intake, your cylinder will not take this more on gas. Air intake side is mostly smaller (42mm) than original Kymco (49mm) a piece of rubber hose around solves this problem.
Pls see pic.
