Always install fresh gaskets when the carburetor is reassembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the symptoms of a leaking carburetor gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA leaking gasket allows unmetered air into the intake, causing the engine to run lean. Typical symptoms include rough or erratic idle, hesitation under load, hard starting, and lean-related performance problems. If the engine runs better at higher RPM than at idle, an intake air leak is worth investigating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common oversight with this gasket is ordering only one when the assembly takes two. On the standard 209 cc 8 HP and 9.9 HP setup, there is a gasket on each side of the insulator — check the diagram and count the items before you order. We also see customers reusing the old gasket after a carb clean to save a few dollars, then chasing a lean idle that turns out to be the gasket not sealing. It is a low-cost part — replace both while the carburetor is already off the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MERC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43563884183588,"sku":"835383001","price":7.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/a926d4c3-a3d0-4b25-b9b5-43300b366f00.png?v=1789424894","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/merc-738","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
