The Zafee 1395-8237072 carburetor rebuild kit restores fuel delivery for 10–25HP Mercury and Mariner 2-stroke outboards by replacing worn seals, gaskets, and small components.

If your small outboard is showing rough idling, poor throttle response, or fuel leakage, rebuilding the carburetor often resolves those issues without the expense of a full replacement. This Zafee kit is made to match the OEM part number 1395-8237072 and contains the commonly replaced pieces needed to return a 10–25HP Mercury or Mariner 2-stroke carburetor to serviceable condition. It's intended for routine maintenance or repair jobs performed with correct tools and, ideally, professional guidance.

What exactly is included and why does it matter?

The kit gathers the essential consumables that typically fail first: gaskets, O-rings, small diaphragms, and needle parts. Replacing these items addresses leaks and worn sealing surfaces that cause performance problems.

• Complete set of gaskets sized for 10–25HP Mercury/Mariner 2-stroke carburetors
• O-rings and seals to restore proper fuel and air sealing
• Needle/seat components and small diaphragms where applicable
• Parts matched to OEM part number 1395-8237072 for compatibility

How do I know this kit fits my engine?

This Zafee rebuild kit is designed for Mercury and Mariner 2-stroke outboard engines rated between 10 and 25 horsepower and references the OEM replacement number 1395-8237072. Verify your engine model/year and the carburetor part number before purchasing to ensure a direct fit.

• Confirmed compatibility with 10–25HP Mercury and Mariner 2-strokes
• Replaces OEM part number 1395-8237072 for straightforward cross-reference
• Check your engine serial/model plate and existing carburetor markings
• Contact a mechanic if you're unsure about model-year variations

What tools and skills are needed to install the kit?

Installing a rebuild kit requires basic mechanical skills, a clean workspace, and a small set of hand tools. Because carburetors are compact and contain delicate parts, careful disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly are essential to avoid leaks and improper metering.

• Basic hand tools: screwdrivers, pliers, small socket set
• Carburetor cleaner, lint-free cloths, and a magnifier for small parts
• Patience and attention to gasket orientation and seal seating
• Professional assistance is recommended if you lack experience

How will rebuilding the carburetor improve boat performance?

Replacing worn seals and consumables restores correct fuel metering and prevents air/fuel leaks, which improves starting, idling stability, and throttle response. It’s an economical way to extend the life of your existing carburetor and avoid full replacement.

• Better cold and hot starts by sealing fuel passages correctly
• Smoother idle and more consistent throttle response
• Reduced fuel leakage and wasted fuel from damaged seals
• Cost-effective maintenance compared with changing the whole carburetor

Who is this for: The Zafee 1395-8237072 carburetor rebuild kit is aimed at boat owners, weekend mechanics, and marine technicians working on Mercury or Mariner 10–25HP 2-stroke outboards who need OEM-matching replacement seals and small parts. If you maintain a small outboard yourself and can perform careful disassembly and cleaning—or if you have a trusted shop that does—this kit supplies the consumable components required to bring an aging carburetor back to reliable operation.
