S/S Needle & Seat - .130

The S/S Needle & Seat - .130 from QUICK FUEL TECHNOLOGY is a precision fuel metering component engineered for carburetor tuning and restoration work across Holley and Quick Fuel carburetors. This stainless steel assembly controls fuel flow into the float bowl, making it essential for anyone rebuilding vintage carbs, optimizing fuel delivery on street machines, or maintaining consistent jetting across engine modifications. Whether you're diagnosing lean stumbles, correcting flooding issues, or upgrading from worn OEM components, a quality needle and seat replacement is foundational carburetor maintenance.

The .130 orifice specification refers to the fuel inlet opening diameter, which directly affects fuel pressure tolerance and flow rate into the float bowl. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion from ethanol-blended fuels and heat cycling, extending service life compared to brass alternatives common in older carburetors. This adjustable design allows you to fine-tune float height and fuel level precisely, critical for eliminating carburetor-related drivability issues and optimizing air-fuel mixture across idle, cruise, and acceleration phases. Proper needle and seat sealing prevents fuel weeping, bowl overflow, and cold-start richness problems that plague original equipment.

This component is ideal for engine builders, restoration enthusiasts, and weekend mechanics maintaining or rebuilding Holley and Quick Fuel carburetors on street rods, classic trucks, and performance vehicles. Installation requires basic carburetor disassembly and familiarity with float bowl removal; most rebuilds can be completed with standard hand tools and a carburetor gasket kit. Compact dimensions (2.9 x 1.1 x 4 inches) and minimal weight ensure no compatibility concerns during installation. Always pair this needle and seat with fresh fuel and a properly-sized fuel pump to achieve repeatable results and stable idle quality.
