Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this gasket require any sealant during installation? A: It is designed to seal on its own once the flame arrestor is torqued down evenly, though a light fuel-resistant dressing can help hold it in place during assembly.

Q: How do I know if my flame arrestor gasket needs replacing? A: Rough idle, lean running, or visible cracking and flattening around the gasket surface are common signs it has aged out and should be swapped.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
