The needle and seat work together inside the carburetor float bowl to regulate the flow of fuel into the bowl as the float rises and falls, shutting off fuel delivery once the correct fuel level is reached and reopening as fuel is consumed. A worn or pitted needle and seat is a common cause of flooding, hard starting, rough idle, and fuel leaking from the carburetor vents, and replacing this assembly restores accurate fuel metering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis assembly is an engine-mount component finished in white and is rated for engines up to 220 horsepower. It is sold as a single unit and is suited to outboards used for fishing, water sports, and cruising applications. Sierra builds this part to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment it replaces, giving boat owners a marine-grade repair option for carburetor rebuilds and routine fuel-system maintenance.\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 18-7233\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Needle and Seat Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999558817\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Equivalent Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Marine 1395-7824\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 Stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Horsepower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 horsepower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engine Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fishing, Water Sports, Cruising\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for gasoline 4 stroke outboard engines rated up to 220 horsepower, as an equivalent to Mercury Marine part 1395-7824.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 1395-7824\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-7233 Needle and Seat Assembly do?\u003c\/strong\u003e It regulates fuel flow into the carburetor float bowl, shutting off delivery when the float reaches the correct fuel level and reopening as fuel is used, which is the core function of the 18-7233 needle and seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-7233 compatible with Mercury Marine outboards?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-7233 is built as an equivalent to Mercury Marine part number 1395-7824.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum horsepower rating for this needle and seat assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7233 is rated for gasoline engines up to 220 horsepower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-7233 for a 2 stroke or 4 stroke engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e This needle and seat assembly, part number 18-7233, is designed for 4 stroke gasoline engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-7233 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The assembly weighs 0.02 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many needle and seat assemblies come in one package?\u003c\/strong\u003e One Sierra 18-7233 Needle and Seat Assembly is included per unit count.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-7233 needle and seat?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is white in color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the Sierra 18-7233 meet or exceed OEM performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra builds the 18-7233 to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Mercury Marine 1395-7824 equivalent part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat symptoms indicate a carburetor needle and seat needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Flooding, hard starting, rough idle, and fuel leaking from carburetor vents are common signs that a needle and seat like the 18-7233 needs to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat kind of mounting does the 18-7233 use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7233 is classified as an engine mount type component, installed within the carburetor assembly on the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat applications is the Sierra 18-7233 recommended for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is recommended for outboard engines used in fishing, water sports, and cruising.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988371058907,"sku":"SIE-18-7233","price":18.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-7233_lg__26974.1558132013.500.750.jpg?v=1785188345","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-7233-needle-seat-assembly-for-mercury-outboard-carburetors-replaces-1395-7824","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
