Moose Offroad Magnetic Float Bowl Drain Plug By Zip-Ty 1050-0176 — Red

Moose Offroad Magnetic Float Bowl Drain Plug By Zip-Ty 1050-0176 — Red

Product Description

Prevent fine fuel debris from clogging your carburetor's pilot and main jets with the Moose Offroad Magnetic Float Bowl Drain Plug. Developed in partnership with Zip-Ty Racing, this simple yet incredibly effective hardware upgrade targets a vulnerability most riders overlook. Fine metal filings and rust particles regularly bypass inline fuel filters from unpaved staging areas, open atmospheric carburetor vent lines, and dusty trailside tank fill-ups. By deploying an ultra-powerful rare earth magnet embedded directly at the lowest structural point of the fuel reservoir, this plug instantly traps metallic particulates before they can travel up into the jet passages.

Proudly made in the USA, this high-performance float bowl cap is precision CNC-machined from premium billet aluminum to replace soft, easily stripped OEM pot-metal bolts. It features a stunning, rich red anodized finish that delivers an aggressive factory accent to your carburetor body while preventing thread oxidation. Featuring a universal M18 x 1.0 thread pitch, this plug is a direct drop-in replacement for the large access main plug located at the bottom of most standard Keihin carburetors found on modern 2-stroke and 4-stroke off-road dirt bikes, ATVs, and UTVs.

Top Features: Moose Offroad / Zip-Ty Drain Plug

• Rare Earth Magnet: High-strength pressed-in magnetic core acts as a specialized fuel trap, catching microscopic metal flakes before they enter critical fuel jets.
• Billet Aluminum Build: CNC-machined structural aluminum completely eliminates the risk of rounded edges or cross-threading during routine jetting adjustments.
• Anodized Race Finish: Hard-anodized red coat shields the aluminum shell against fuel gum degradation while accentuating your engine's appearance.
• Universal Keihin Fitment: Standardized M18x1.0 configuration integrates seamlessly with most high-performance 2-stroke and 4-stroke Keihin carburetor bowls.

Please verify your carburetor model uses an M18x1.0 access plug before purchasing to guarantee a flawless installation fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this plug fit standard Mikuni carburetors or only Keihin models?
A: This specific 1050-0176 plug features an M18x1.0 thread pattern, which is standard for the large bottom access bowl plugs on most Keihin carburetors. It generally will not fit Mikuni carburetors unless they share that exact thread geometry.

Q: Do I need to modify my float bowl to install this Zip-Ty magnetic plug?
A: No modifications are necessary. It is engineered as a direct replacement part—simply unbolt your factory 17mm or 14mm bowl plug and screw this new magnetic plug back into the same opening.

Q: Can I clean off the trapped metal dust without draining all the fuel from my carb?
A: Removing this plug will completely drain the fuel inside the float bowl reservoir. We recommend cleaning the magnet tip during routine maintenance or air filter swaps when the bike is already turned off and the fuel petcock is safely shut.

Expert Pro-Tip: The float bowl on a carburetor is made of thin, cast aluminum alloy. When swapping your factory plug for this billet aluminum replacement, be extremely careful not to cross-thread the delicate bowl housing. Start threading the new plug entirely by hand for the first few rotations. Tighten until the sealing washer or O-ring seats securely against the flat machined face, and snug it down gently. Over-torquing can easily crack a vintage or factory carb bowl.
