Sierra 18-1241 Float Bowl and Nozzle Gasket

The Sierra 18-1241 Float Bowl and Nozzle Gasket seals the float bowl and nozzle assembly on marine carburetors, providing a leak-free connection between mating surfaces during fuel system service and rebuilds. As part of Sierra's engineered gasket lineup, it is built to meet the demands of high horsepower marine engines operating in harsh marine environments, and Sierra states that its products meet or exceed the quality of the original equipment part they replace. This gasket is intended as a direct fit for the float bowl and nozzle location it is designed for, making it a straightforward replacement when rebuilding or servicing a carburetor float bowl. It ships as a single gasket (quantity of 1) and is identified by Sierra part number 18-1241. Boat owners and marine technicians use this gasket during routine carburetor maintenance, float bowl gasket replacement, or when addressing fuel leaks or drips at the float bowl and nozzle joint. Because gaskets compress and can dry out or lose sealing ability over time, replacing this gasket whenever the float bowl is removed for cleaning or inspection is standard practice to maintain a proper seal and prevent fuel leaks.
