The needle valve regulates fuel flow into the carburetor float bowl, closing off supply as the float rises and opening again as fuel is consumed, which keeps the fuel level in the bowl steady for consistent engine performance. A worn, pitted, or sticking needle valve is a common cause of flooding, rough idle, hard starting, and fuel leaking from the carburetor vent, so replacing it is a routine part of a carburetor rebuild or fuel system service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit has a threaded inlet connection and an NPT outlet connection with two ports, and it is sized as a small precision component measuring 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches. Sierra manufactures this part to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment it replaces, and Sierra supplies many OEM engine manufacturers and boat builders with parts on a daily basis. It ships as a single needle valve assembly ready to install into a compatible Honda outboard carburetor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7047\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Needle Valve Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExterior Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Connection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Connection Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282302498\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHonda outboard carburetors\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-7047 needle valve do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It regulates fuel flow into the carburetor float bowl on a Honda outboard, closing as the float rises to shut off supply and opening again as fuel is drawn out, which keeps the fuel level in the bowl consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-7047 needle valve compatible with my outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7047 is built for Honda outboard carburetors; check that your carburetor accepts a needle valve with a threaded inlet and NPT outlet before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 18-7047 needle valve made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is machined from stainless steel, which resists corrosion from fuel and the marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the Sierra 18-7047 needle valve?\u003c\/strong\u003e The needle valve measures 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches, a small precision-machined component sized to fit inside the carburetor float bowl assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-7047 needle valve weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7047 weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms indicate my Honda outboard needs a new needle valve?\u003c\/strong\u003e A worn or sticking needle valve on a Honda outboard carburetor commonly causes flooding, rough idle, hard starting, or fuel leaking from the carburetor vent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-7047 meet OEM specifications?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra manufactures the 18-7047 needle valve to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat connection types does the 18-7047 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The needle valve has a threaded inlet connection and an NPT outlet connection, with two ports total.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when I order the 18-7047?\u003c\/strong\u003e You receive one Sierra 18-7047 needle valve assembly, ready to install into a compatible Honda outboard carburetor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-7047 a genuine Sierra part or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7047 is a genuine Sierra-manufactured replacement part, not a used or reconditioned OEM component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the 18-7047 needle valve myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Replacing a carburetor needle valve like the 18-7047 is a routine part of a carburetor rebuild or fuel system service and is commonly done during standard carburetor maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988360540379,"sku":"SIE-18-7047","price":31.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-7047__58003.1558189009.500.750.jpg?v=1785188860","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-7047-carburetor-needle-valve-for-honda-outboards-replaces-16011-zv4-005-fits-bf8-2001-up-through-bf90","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
