Carburetor Parts & Fuel Taps for your BMW R100GS, R100GS Paris Dakar, R100R, R100RS Classic & R100RT Classic
A properly functioning fuel system and a perfectly adjusted carburetor are essential for the smooth running of your BMW R100GS, BMW R100GS Paris Dakar, BMW R100R, BMW R100RS Classic, or BMW R100RT Classic. In the "Carburetor Parts & Fuel Taps" category at Hornig, you will find numerous spare and wear parts for carburetors, fuel taps, gaskets, floats, and more – suitable for R2V models with Bing constant vacuum carburetors and ideal for maintenance, repair, or overhaul of the fuel system.
Fuel Taps & Fuel Supply
The right fuel taps ensure reliable control of fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor. At Hornig, you can find the left fuel tap, the right fuel tap, and the straight fuel tap – each compatible with air-cooled R2V boxer engines. These fuel taps are robustly manufactured, fit classic carburetor systems, and can be quickly and easily replaced if needed. In addition to the taps themselves, Hornig also offers suitable O-rings for "Karcoma" fuel taps and a fine screen to filter impurities in the fuel.
Gaskets & Gasket Sets
High-quality gaskets are essential to keep the carburetor permanently sealed and functional. Several variants are available in this category: the 40mm carburetor gasket set including membranes, the gasket set without membranes for R2V models, and the Bing 32mm constant vacuum carburetor gasket set cover different carburetor combinations. These gasket sets ensure optimal sealing between the housing, membranes, and other moving parts, preventing unwanted mixture dilution or malfunction.
Floats & Float Needle Valves
A properly working float and functional float needle valve are crucial to prevent carburetor overflow and to ensure precise fuel mixture dosing. Hornig offers the R2V float needle valve as well as the carburetor float. For older /5 and /6 models with Bing slide carburetors, there is a specifically matched float needle valve. Additionally, the float chamber gasket prevents leaks in the chamber and contributes significantly to the safe operation of the carburetor.
Additional Parts for Clean Fuel Supply
Various additional parts complete the range: the fuel hose in standard and textile-covered versions fits all models with a 6 mm inner diameter line, while the KL13 fuel filter removes fine impurities from the fuel. Other components, such as the T-distributor for 6 mm lines or smaller parts like the choke gasket and different membranes (32 mm and 40 mm), ensure complete fuel supply and precise carburetor function.
Why Maintaining Carburetor Parts is Important
Faulty carburetor parts or leaking gaskets can quickly lead to poor idling, difficult starting, carburetor fuel overflow, or power loss. Regular maintenance and replacement of worn components ensure that the fuel supply works cleanly and evenly, the mixture is optimal, and the engine of your BMW R100GS, BMW R100R, or other R2V variants runs reliably – whether in everyday use, on tours, or in classic operation.
