The Porsche Gasket for Weber 40 Series 3-Barrel Carburettor is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for classic Porsche models fitted with Weber 40 IDA 3-barrel carburettors. This gasket provides a reliable seal between carburettor components, preventing air or fuel leaks and ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
Fits:
- Porsche 911 1965-1968 2.0L / 912 SWB (F)
- Porsche 911 1970-1971 2.2L / 2.4L / 2.7L RS LWB (F)
- Porsche 914 (1970-1976)
What This Product Does:
- Forms a sealed connection between parts of the carburettor assembly (for example between sections of the carb body, base, bowls etc.), preventing air or fuel leaks. This ensures the carburettor internal pressures, fuel/air mixture, and fuel delivery stay as designed.
- Helps maintain vacuum and avoids unmetered air entering the mix, which would upset the air-fuel ratio.
- Keeps fuel/air paths, float chambers, and throttle linkage parts sealed so the carburettor performs reliably and efficiently.
Symptoms Of A Worn Or Failing Gasket:
If this gasket is leaking or degraded, you might notice:
- Rough idle or unstable idle because air leaks introduce unmeasured fresh air, upsetting the mixture.
- Hesitation on acceleration or lean-running behavior, especially when the engine is under load.
- Backfiring or popping in exhaust/intake due to incorrect mixture or vacuum leaks.
- Fuel smell or visible fuel seepage near the carburettor seams.
- Higher fuel consumption or poor economy due to less efficient combustion.
- Difficult starting, especially when cold, because gasket leaks can make mixture control harder.
A correct gasket ensures the carburettor works as intended: stable mixture, good performance, reliable idle, and safe fuel sealing.
Prevents damage: leaks can allow dirt or debris into the carburettor or intake, potentially damaging internal parts.
Helps maintain emissions and driveability. Classic cars are particularly sensitive to small leaks.
Uses the OEM specification so fit, material, sealing properties are correct, preserving originality and value for restorations.
