Sierra 18-7746 Carburetor Kit, Replaces 1347-818619R02, for Mercruiser 90-140 HP R2/2GC and R/2GC Carburetors
The Sierra 18-7746 Carburetor Kit is a repair kit for Rochester R2/2GC and R/2GC two-barrel carburetors used on Mercruiser inline four-cylinder engines. It is built to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment carburetor components it replaces, giving boat owners a reliable way to rebuild a worn or leaking carburetor rather than replacing the entire unit. The kit covers a wide span of Mercruiser engine applications, from 90 HP 96 cubic inch and 120 HP 153 cubic inch engines through 140 HP 181 cubic inch engines, spanning model years from the late 1960s through the early 1980s depending on the specific engine and carburetor model.
Sierra manufactures this kit to perform in the harsh marine environment, where fuel system components are exposed to ethanol-blended fuels, vibration, and moisture that can degrade gaskets, needles, and seats over time. Rebuilding the carburetor with this kit restores proper fuel metering and idle performance without the cost of a full carburetor replacement. The kit is intended for use on the R2/2GC and R/2GC Rochester carburetor models fitted to the Mercruiser inline four-cylinder engines listed below, and it is backed by Sierra's warranty on marine replacement parts.
