Good To Know

Q: Do I need to replace the gasket every time the flame arrestor is removed? A: Yes, a fresh flame arrestor gasket is recommended each time the housing is taken off to keep the seal reliable. Reusing a compressed gasket can allow air leaks that affect how the engine runs.

Q: Can this gasket be reused? A: This flame arrestor gasket is intended as a single-use sealing part. Once it has been torqued down, replacing it is the safest way to maintain an airtight fit.

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