The part that connects the cylinder head and the carburetor is called an insulator.
It serves as a passage that mixes air and fuel in the carburetor, vaporizes the mixture, and sends it to the engine.
Made of rubber to prevent heat transfer from the engine to the carburetor, considering high productivity and cost efficiency.
Although it is a durable genuine part, it is made of rubber and will eventually deteriorate over time, causing cracks.
When the insulator deteriorates, symptoms such as cracks in the rubber, unstable idling, and slow engine rpm decrease may occur.
Air entering through cracks in the deteriorated insulator (secondary air) can cause the air-fuel mixture to become lean, leading to engine trouble.
If a deteriorated insulator is left untreated, the mixture may become too lean, potentially causing engine damage, so caution is advised.
If the spark plug turns white despite no tuning, it is a warning sign.
Replacing with genuine parts can be expensive, so we recommend a reasonably priced, high-quality aftermarket part for a complete replacement.
After replacing with a new one, you can experience the engine's good throttle response similar to a new vehicle.
To maintain a precious vehicle for a long time, we recommend replacing the insulator.
