The YS Engine YSF1555 FZ high-speed needle seat improves repeatability of the high-speed needle to deliver stable high-rpm performance in glow-engine carburettors. The FZ designation describes the seat profile used at higher engine speeds.
For fitment, remove the carburettor bowl, withdraw the needle assembly and replace the seat using standard hand tools. Clean the threads thoroughly and align parts to avoid cross-threading; light lubrication on the needle shank can aid smooth travel.
Although not a tuning item by itself, the seat condition has a direct effect on how repeatable high-speed needle adjustments will be. Regular inspection, cleaning and confirmation of free needle travel after assembly will help preserve consistent top-end behaviour.
