Additional information
This engine carburetor bowl bolt gasket, part number 710-04904, seals the area around the carburetor bowl bolt to keep fuel from leaking during operation. A properly seated gasket helps maintain correct fuel pressure inside the bowl and supports smooth engine performance.
If you notice fuel dripping from the bottom of the carburetor, fuel odors near the engine, or difficulty maintaining consistent operation, the gasket may be worn, hardened, or damaged. Flattening or cracking can prevent it from sealing properly.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the carburetor bowl bolt, replace the gasket, and tighten the bolt evenly so the bowl seals securely without overtightening.
