The
1500 and 1600's were all supposed to leave the factory
with 160-05. The float lever is hung from a pin
through the lid casting itself. The 2000's use 160-06;
a black plastic float with the float lever built into
the top of the float. We have seen a lot of cars with
the wrong type however, even in the early 70s. We are
guessing some carbs were just assembled improperly in
Japan. Later owners could have switched things around
as well. Be sure to check both your carbs before
ordering, we've seen more than one car with one of
each type. It doesn't really matter as long as all the
related parts match. (see INFO link below)
The
new style black polymer (plastic) 160-05 circa 1995 is
a direct replacement for the old style brass unit
whose design dates back to the early 1900s!
