The Multiquip 2276240508 is a genuine OEM Main Hi Alt Jet #87.5 designed for the EC12 series. As a direct Multiquip OEM component, it is manufactured to the exact specifications required for correct fuel metering in high-altitude operating conditions. This jet is a direct carburetor replacement for EC12 equipment, ensuring the correct air-fuel ratio is maintained when operating at elevation. If you are servicing an EC12 and need to restore proper high-altitude carburetor calibration, part number 2276240508 is the correct OEM choice.
Key Features
- OEM-Spec Fuel Metering — Manufactured to the exact orifice sizing required for correct high-altitude fuel delivery — no guesswork on jet calibration.
- High-Altitude Application — Specifically sized at #87.5 to compensate for reduced air density at elevation, keeping the engine running clean and responsive.
- Direct Carburetor Fit — Threads directly into the carburetor body of EC12 equipment as a drop-in replacement with no modification to surrounding components.
- EC12 Compatibility — Verified fitment for the Multiquip EC12, making it the correct service part when performing a high-altitude carburetor jet swap on that model.
- Engine Protection at Elevation — Running the wrong jet size at altitude causes rich or lean conditions that can lead to fouled plugs, power loss, or engine damage — the correct #87.5 spec prevents these issues.
- Genuine OEM Sourcing — Supplied as an authentic Multiquip OEM part through DHS Equipment, ensuring you receive the exact component specified for the EC12.
A main jet controls how much fuel is delivered through the carburetor at mid-to-high throttle openings. At higher altitudes, thinner air means a standard sea-level jet will over-fuel the engine, causing a rich condition that robs power and increases emissions. A high-altitude jet like the #87.5 has a smaller orifice that restricts fuel flow to match the reduced oxygen content of the air, restoring the correct air-fuel ratio. When this jet becomes worn, damaged, or is incorrectly specified for the operating altitude, the engine will run poorly, idle roughly, or lose usable power under load.
