Installation and Maintenance

Replacing carburetor seals is a procedure worth performing regularly, especially before the boating season. Before starting work, ensure you have the right tools and fresh fuel on hand, as old, contaminated fuel can damage new seals. When assembling the carburetor, pay special attention to the correct positioning of the needle and throttle lever. Improper installation can lead to leaks or incorrect air-fuel mixing. After installing the 18-7098-1 kit, it is recommended to check the system for leaks under pressure and perform a water test to ensure the engine responds immediately to throttle movement. Regular maintenance prevents more expensive failures in the future.
