Mercury – Rochester Carburetor Fuel Filter | Fuel System | Screen & O-Ring Kit | 8767Q

Fuel systems on older carbureted engines can be surprisingly dependable, but only when they’re fed clean, debris-free gasoline. That’s where the Quicksilver 8767Q Fuel Filter quietly earns its keep. It’s a small part, but one that plays a huge role in keeping classic Mercury engines running crisp and smooth. Whether you're easing away from the dock or powering across open water, a clean Rochester carburetor lets your engine breathe the way it was meant to. This filter kit keeps things simple — steady fuel, smooth idle, and fewer headaches.

Performance & Practical Benefits

A carbureted engine’s performance can change dramatically with even a small amount of dirt in the fuel line. This OEM filter helps prevent those issues by catching fine debris before it reaches jets and internal passages. The result is a cleaner idle, more stable acceleration, and a throttle response that feels smooth rather than hesitant.

Replacing this filter is one of the quickest ways to restore reliable performance to an older carbureted motor. The included o-ring and retainer ensure a tight, leak-free fit, and installation takes just a few minutes with basic tools.

Why Buy OEM

Rochester carburetors are sensitive to filtration quality. Aftermarket screens may fit, but they often allow more debris to pass or use materials that don’t tolerate ethanol-blended fuels well. Quicksilver’s OEM components match the original engineering, ensuring proper filtration and correct seating inside the carburetor.

If you want your classic engine to run the way Mercury designed it, OEM is the way to go.
