FEATURES:
Two-Step Metering Rods: There are metering rods inside the carburetor designed to aid in the transition between circuits, helping avoid backfiring in the engine. Hence, it minimizes the risk of blown-up power valves. The carbs use easily changed metering rods for precise tuning, non-adjustable secondary air valves, and the primary venturi booster is a bottom-feed design for smoother acceleration and better drivability.
Electric/Manual Choke: This carburetor comes with both options. You can either choose an electric choke or a manual choke. An electric choke is the most suitable option for winters, as starting an engine in the cold can be difficult. The job of an electric choke is to warm the engine quickly by mixing air and fuel. On the other hand, manual choking involves adjusting a metal plate to increase/decrease the air. It can be a bit difficult for some users, which is why most prefer an electric choke.
Compatibility: 1406 works with both fuel types – gasoline and ethanol.
Unchanged Calibration: This carb is meant to hold a tune for a long time. It offers continuous performance due to the unchanged calibration.
Durable: One of the best things about this carb is its body composed of high-end aluminum. It has tremendous durability and also weighs less. It also comes in a two-piece body that restricts warping.
No Leaks: It is a two-piece design that is carefully manufactured, making sure that no leaking spots are left. Besides, the gasket blow is just at the right spot. Hence, there is little to no risk of leaks.
Light weight: all-aluminum body is compatible with gasohol and blended fuels
