Review on ๐Ÿ’ฏ Efficient Oregon 49-841 Bowl Gasket for Tecumseh Part 631028: Ultimate Seal Solution! by Daniel Roe

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Size changed under temperature

This carburetor gasket was completely useless. I have rebuilt many small engine carburetors over the years and the body gasket on this chopper was completely worn out. I ordered the necessary parts, cleaned and reassembled the carburetor and everything fit and worked well. It worked until the engine got up to temperature and I turned it off. After being gone for a few hours, I found an empty gas tank and signs of a gas leak from the carburetor. I removed the bowl and found that the insert no longer fits. it has increased by almost 0.5 inches. I've experimented with this and found that this pad changes size when heated. I ended up dropping this gasket and used an o-ring from a local hardware store with satisfactory results. I've never seen that on a carburetor gasket. Don't waste your money on it.

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • so far so good
