Yamaha - Float Chamber Gasket - Carburetor Sealing Component - 652-14384-00-00

Anytime you’re working on a carburetor, the gasket is one of those parts you don’t take chances on. I’ve seen engines come back with leaks or rough running just because someone tried to reuse an old one. This gasket keeps the float chamber sealed so fuel stays where it should and the carb does its job right. It’s a small part, but it plays a big role in keeping your engine running clean and steady.
