The Multiquip 16221Z5T000 is a genuine OEM Carburetor Packing GX390RT2 designed for the MVH408GH reversible plate compactor. As an authorized Multiquip OEM part, 16221Z5T000 delivers the exact material grade and compression fit required to maintain an airtight carburetor seal on GX390RT2-equipped machines. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this packing is confirmed for MVH408GH applications and installs as a direct replacement with no guesswork on fit or spec.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Sealing Material — Manufactured to the exact compression rating and material specification required for the GX390RT2 carburetor, ensuring a proper airtight seal where aftermarket materials often fall short.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Designed to seat correctly in the GX390RT2 carburetor housing on MVH408GH compactors, matching original dimensions and gasket profile for a clean installation.
- Confirmed MVH408GH Fitment — Verified for use on the Multiquip MVH408GH heavy-duty reversible plate compactor; check your model code before ordering to ensure compatibility.
- Fuel System Integrity — A properly seated carburetor packing prevents air and fuel leaks that cause rough running, hard starting, and erratic engine performance on the compactor.
- Fuel System Safety — A failed or deteriorated carburetor packing can allow fuel vapors to escape near ignition sources; replacing it with the correct OEM part maintains safe engine operation.
The carburetor packing is a sealing gasket that sits between the carburetor body and the engine intake, creating an airtight barrier that keeps the fuel-air mixture properly routed into the combustion chamber. Without a sound seal, unmetered air enters the intake, leaning out the mixture and causing hard starts, rough idle, and loss of power under load. On a plate compactor like the MVH408GH, where consistent engine output directly affects compaction force and plate performance, a worn or cracked carburetor packing should be replaced promptly to restore proper engine operation.
