Yamaha - Float Chamber Gasket - Carburetor Seal - 650-14384-00-00

Overview

Anytime I’m inside a carburetor, I don’t reuse old gaskets—it’s just not worth the risk. The float chamber gasket is what keeps fuel where it belongs, and if it’s worn or flattened out, you’ll start seeing leaks or inconsistent running. This Yamaha gasket fits right and seals clean, which is exactly what you want when dialing in a carb. It’s a small part, but it makes a big difference in keeping things running smooth and predictable.

Key Features

• Fuel-Tight Seal – Prevents leaks between the float bowl and carburetor body.
• OEM Fitment – Matches Yamaha specifications for proper alignment and sealing surface contact.
• Fuel-Resistant Material – Built to withstand constant exposure to gasoline without breaking down.
• Consistent Carb Performance – Helps maintain stable fuel levels for smooth engine operation.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Fits Yamaha outboard engines equipped with carbureted fuel systems using float chamber assemblies. Commonly used on smaller to mid-range horsepower outboards found on fishing boats, tenders, and utility vessels.
