Why It Matters
When a 32/36 progressive floods at the bowl or runs it low, the needle and seat have stopped sealing. This genuine EMPI 1.5mm needle valve and seat sizes the inlet to hold a stable fuel level in your 32/36 DGV or DFV carb.
The needle valve and seat regulate fuel into the float bowl, which sets the fuel level the jets draw from, so a valve that no longer seals throws off delivery everywhere.
Installation Notes
A direct-fit replacement for the needle valve and seat in an EMPI 32/36 DGV or DFV carburetor.
