Fuel Flow Reliability with Briggs Pulse Fitting

Steady fuel under G-loads keeps your LO206 from leaning out. Check out the Briggs & Stratton LO206 Black Anodized Aluminum Pulse Fitting - threads into the crankcase, includes O-ring for leak-proof seal, and fights corrosion. A solid upgrade for Animal/LO206 fuel systems.

Why pulse fittings matter for your setup

Crankcase pressure drives the fuel pump - this billet aluminum piece ensures full transfer, no vacuum leaks, even with high-flow carbs.

Chassis Fine-Tuning: Long Weight Bracket

Weight placement is key for balance. The 1 1/4" Long Weight Bracket from Swift Karting offers aluminum strength and reach for bold strategies, securing ballast where needed while keeping bracket weight low.

Pair these for a driveline refresh that feels dialed. General advice: Check class rules for fitment and torque everything properly for safety.
