Yamaha - Float Chamber Gasket - Carburetor Seal - 654-14384-00-00

Overview

Anytime you open up a carburetor, this is one of those parts you don’t gamble on reusing. I’ve seen engines come back with fuel leaks or rough running just because an old gasket didn’t seal right. This float chamber gasket sits between the bowl and the carb body, and when it’s doing its job, everything stays clean and consistent. It’s a simple piece, but it keeps your fuel system behaving the way it should.

Key Features

• Fuel-Tight Seal – Prevents leaks between the float bowl and carburetor housing.
• OEM Fitment – Matches Yamaha specifications for proper alignment and sealing.
• Fuel-Resistant Material – Built to handle constant exposure to gasoline without breaking down.

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 across fishing boats, tenders, and utility vessels.
