GASKET (P/N 16-a48) - New Surplus

The 16-A48 is a fuel inlet strainer gasket for Marvel-Schebler aircraft carburetors. This elastomeric seal prevents fuel leakage at the strainer-to-body joint during engine operation. Installed during carburetor maintenance on supported Marvel-Schebler models, the gasket compresses between the strainer housing and carburetor body to maintain a fuel-tight seal.
