The float valve is used to allow fuel into the float chamber when the chamber has been drained and to stop fuel from entering the chamber when it is full. It provides an identical replacement for a missing or a faulty component that was installed on a new unit. This authentic part is supplied by the original equipment manufacturer for use with Kawasaki engines commonly installed on lawn and garden equipment. Please make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams of your model to ensure the correct repair procedure. Keep in mind this high-quality valve-fuel inlet is sold as an individual item.

I thought the float valve was not working, even after a complete carb rebuild. Pulled the head to check for burnt or stuck valves, significant carbon build up, but valves still closed correctly. Had weak spark, but it was there, so I replaced the coil, it did not run at all after that, so I pulled the kill wire from the magneto, the machine started, the carburetor adjustments were effective, better than before. Found a safety module that checks seat interlock, gear interlock, and deck engagement before you are allowed to start the machine. This module 68-2940 part number on a Toro 55600 series tractor kills the engine by grounding the ignition magneto coil.
So, I replaced the head gasket after cleaning the head and valves, put a float valve in the carb, by the way the little green ring goes in with a raised lip on the bowl side of the valve, replaced the coil and will install a new ignition switch and module coil when it comes in.

Removed carburetor and disassembled, installed new seat and float valve, adjusted float, checked flow through fuel passages, reassembled and ran engine. Adjusted fuel mixture for full load on Alternator. Generators produce DC, Alternators produce AC. Everyone calls them generators, but they are alternators.
