Description

Tillotson 16B-406 Orange/Red IAME Spec Metering Diaphragm Gasket


The Tillotson 16B-406 Orange/Red Main Metering Gasket is a color-coded OEM gasket specifically designed to meet IAME class technical regulations in national karting events.


Manufactured by Tillotson exclusively for IAME applications, the distinct orange/red color allows quick visual verification by tech inspectors and scrutineers—eliminating the need to measure gasket thickness during post-race inspections. This gasket is mandatory in many national-level races, particularly in classes using the Tillotson HW-27, HW-31, and HW-33 carburetors.


While this metering diaphragm gasket is required for compliance at higher levels of competition, local and club-level events may allow the use of the Tillotson 16B-217 Standard Metering Gasket as an alternative. Always consult your rulebook or racing organization before installation to ensure legality.


Fitment & Compatibility

  • Fits: HL, HR, HW, HM, HX, HB series Tillotson carburetors
  • Mandated for: HW-27, HW-31, HW-33 in IAME engine classes
  • Color: Orange/Red for easy tech inspection


Tech Tip:

Even if not strictly required in your class, this gasket provides assurance and peace of mind by matching national spec standards—ideal for racers aiming to keep their setup race-legal across all events.
