This power jet valve assembly is used in select Zenith carburetors to provide additional fuel enrichment under load. When engine demand increases, the power jet valve opens to supplement the main circuit, preventing lean conditions that can cause hesitation, loss of power, or engine damage.
A failed, stuck, or leaking power jet valve will often result in poor acceleration, flat spots, lean surge, or inconsistent performance. Replacing the valve assembly restores proper enrichment and correct fuel delivery when it matters most.

Precision-machined for correct operation and fit
Brass construction for durability and fuel resistance
Critical for drivability, power, and engine protection
Direct replacement—no modifications required

?? Important: Zenith carburetors vary internally. Always match your carburetor number to ensure compatibility before ordering.
OE Number: C97-12-19
Replace the power jet valve assembly if you experience:
Hesitation or stumble under acceleration
Lean running under load
Poor power despite correct main jet sizing
Evidence of internal fuel leakage or sticking
This component is often overlooked during rebuilds but plays a major role in real-world performance.
If your Zenith carburetor uses a power jet system, this valve assembly is not optional—it’s essential. Correct enrichment equals better drivability, safer air-fuel ratios, and proper engine performance.
