Fuel Bowl Gasket 951-11970

This fuel bowl gasket is an authentic OEM replacement part. It is a thin, rubber strip responsible for creating a tight seal between the fuel bowl and carburetor to prevent fuel from leaking out. If the fuel bowl gasket is faulty, it can cause fuel to leak from the carburetor, resulting in rough idling, stalling, or difficulty starting the engine. Over time the gasket may lose its elasticity, tear, or fall off due to exposure to high heat, and fuel, or because of improper installation. To remove the faulty gasket, you will first need to detach the fuel bowl from the carburetor body. Peel off the old gasket and thoroughly clean the surface to remove any residue or dirt. Align the new gasket with the fuel bowl and carburetor and press it in until it is flat and secured to the sealing surface.
