Its job is simple but critical: it rides on the fuel inside the carburetor bowl and rises or falls with the fuel level, opening and closing the needle valve to keep the fuel supply metered correctly as the engine runs. A worn, cracked, or waterlogged float can throw off this balance, causing flooding, hard starting, or a lean-running engine, so replacing it with a properly sized Sierra float restores accurate fuel metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis float is molded from plastic in a multi-coloured finish and is sized as a direct interchange for the Mallory 9-36955 float, making it straightforward to source when the original part number is a Mallory reference. It is intended for marine applications, providing buoyancy to outboard motors, and is supplied as a single float unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e multi-coloured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marine applications, providing buoyancy to outboard motors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Float\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMallory 9-36955\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-7208 float do?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7208 is a carburetor float that rides on the fuel inside the bowl, rising and falling to open and close the needle valve and keep the fuel level metered correctly as the engine runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-7208 the same as a Mallory 9-36955 float?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-7208 is a direct interchange for the Mallory 9-36955 float, so it can be used wherever that part number is called for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Sierra 18-7208 float made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is molded from plastic, finished in a multi-coloured appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-7208 float weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The float weighs 0.01 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many floats come in one Sierra 18-7208 package?\u003c\/strong\u003e One package of the Sierra 18-7208 includes a single float, listed as a unit count of 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Sierra 18-7208 meet original equipment quality?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra states this float meets or exceeds the quality of the original equipment part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms indicate the float in my carburetor needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e A float that is cracked, waterlogged, or worn can no longer regulate fuel level accurately, which commonly shows up as flooding, hard starting, or an engine running lean; installing a Sierra 18-7208 float restores correct metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-7208 float intended for outboard motors?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is intended for marine applications and is used to provide buoyancy inside the carburetor of an outboard motor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the Sierra 18-7208 float mounted in the carburetor?\u003c\/strong\u003e It uses an engine mount type installation and operates automatically as part of the carburetor's fuel bowl assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fuel type is the Sierra 18-7208 float designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7208 float is designed for use with gasoline fuel systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988367093979,"sku":"SIE-18-7208","price":12.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-7208_lg__44074.1558130770.500.750.jpg?v=1785188395","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-7208-carburetor-float-for-mercury-and-chrysler-outboards-replaces-1395-8983-1395-8673","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
