Product Description
Mercury Quicksilver 24-48143 is the fuel-inlet filter spring for specified MerCruiser carburetors. It belongs in the inlet-filter arrangement with the fuel filter and inlet nut; its current replacement is 3302-9032.
Key Features
- Legacy OEM number: 24-48143.
- Fuel-inlet filter / strainer spring.
- Current replacement: 3302-9032.
Compatibility and Fitment
Documented legacy applications include MerCruiser 120 GM 153 inline-four, 1972–1982, and 140 GM 181 inline-four, 1968–1982, with the matching carburetor. Confirm the carburetor model and serial-number diagram because replacement carburetors may use a different inlet arrangement.
Replacement and Installation
Replace a missing, corroded or distorted spring. Inspect the inlet filter, nut and sealing components together, and reinstall in the carburetor diagram order. Check the serviced fuel connection for leaks before returning the engine to use.

Parts Desk Insight
This is the spring at the fuel inlet, rather than a throttle-return or choke spring. Checking its position beside the inlet filter prevents confusion between the carburetor’s several springs.
