Sierra 18-7000 Carburetor Kit for Volvo Penta Solex 44PA1 Down Draft Carburetor

The Sierra 18-7000 Carburetor Kit is built for rebuilding the Solex 44PA1 down draft carburetor used on Volvo Penta sterndrive engines. This kit restores carburetor performance by replacing the wear-prone internal components that degrade with fuel exposure and heat cycling over time, helping resolve rough idle, flooding, and inconsistent fuel metering caused by worn gaskets, seals, and other internal carburetor parts. The kit does not include metering rods, so those should be inspected separately and sourced if replacement is needed. It is designed to fit Volvo Penta 4 Cylinder I/O engine models AQ115A, AQ115B, AQ125A, AQ125B, AQ130C, AQ130D, AQ131A, AQ131B, AQ131C, AQ131D, AQ145A, AQ145B, AQ151A, AQ151B, AQ151C, AQ171A, AQ171C, BB115B, BB115C, and BB145A, as well as 6 Cylinder I/O engine models AQ170A, AQ170B, AQ170C, BB170A, BB170B, and BB170C. This carburetor kit is interchangeable with GLM 76101, Mallory 9-37600, Solex 44PA1, and Volvo Penta 841292, 841836-0, 856471, and 856472. Each Sierra replacement part is built to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces, giving boat owners a dependable option for restoring carburetor function without sourcing a full replacement carburetor.
