Performance & Practical Benefits

A proper seal is what lets a carburetor do its job — controlling the fuel-air mix so your engine runs strong and clean. The 8107493 kit replaces every key gasket and seal that tends to wear or dry out over time. You’ll get more consistent starting, a steadier idle, and reduced fuel odor or leakage around the carburetor base.

Each component in this kit is cut from high-grade material designed to handle constant fuel contact and heat cycling. It fits cleanly without trimming or guesswork, saving you time during a rebuild. Whether you’re doing a routine service or reviving an older V6, this kit brings your carb back to factory precision.

Why Buy OEM

With gaskets, precision matters. A gasket that’s even a hair off can create vacuum leaks or uneven fuel delivery. Mercury’s OEM kits are engineered for the exact carburetor models used on their outboards, ensuring perfect alignment and long-term sealing.

Aftermarket sets often mix materials or skip critical seals. Mercury’s gaskets are made from fuel-resistant materials and tested under real marine conditions — meaning they’ll hold up season after season without shrinking or cracking. Choosing OEM keeps your motor running the way the factory intended.
