1500 and 1600	2000

FLOAT INFORMATION The pictures above show which parts go together. In addtion to the confusion and sometime mismatching of metering nozzles and parts, there exists a similar situation with floats, float valves and float lids. The 1500 and 1600's were all supposed to leave the factory with the type of float bowl that contained a brass cylindrical float. (There's also a plastic version of it shown above on far left) The float lever is hung from a pin through the lid casting itself. The 2000's use 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. The 1500/1600 style float valve needs a 9mm wrench to remove it, the 2000 float valve needs a 10mm. It doesn't matter which type you have as long as you have all the matching pieces. If you do not have the correct parts (1500/1600 vs 2000) you will need to order repair parts separately rather then a rebuild kit, as the kit for a 2000 will only have the "2000" type float parts.
