BIHR carburettor tool

BIHR offers this carburettor tool. The carburettor (or fuel injection) meters the mix of air and fuel entering the engine. Dedicated tools are used to adjust it: a vacuum gauge to balance several carburettors against each other, a gauge to read the size of a jet, a key to drain the float bowl, or an auxiliary tank that feeds the engine when the original tank is removed.

Why use a carburettor tool?

The benefits:

• Measured adjustments instead of setting things “by ear”: the result is precise and can be repeated exactly.
• Brass adaptors: they do not rust and do not mark the vacuum ports.
• Auxiliary tank: the engine runs with the tank removed, giving direct access to the carburettors or throttle bodies.

Why choose BIHR?

Bihr is a distributor from Alsace founded in 1975 by Cyrille Bihr, who started out with a bicycle and motorcycle repair shop in Hegenheim. Based in Bartenheim, it supplies more than 200,000 parts from seven European warehouses and develops its own range of parts and workshop tools.

When should you replace this tool?

A gauge that no longer returns to zero, dirty or low fluid in the vacuum gauge, an adaptor that lets air in or a key with a rounded profile: replace the part, otherwise the reading is wrong or the screw gets damaged.
