This is a genuine Homelite New Old Stock (NOS) chainsaw intake gasket, part number 729712, also referenced as 72971-2 and 72971-1. Manufactured by Homelite to original factory specifications.
The intake gasket seals the carburetor and intake assembly to the engine, preventing air leaks that can cause lean running, hard starting, erratic idle, and loss of power. Installing a true Homelite NOS gasket ensures proper sealing thickness, material quality, and long-term reliability—something aftermarket gaskets often fail to provide.
Ideal for engine rebuilds, carburetor service, and vintage Homelite restorations, this original gasket is no longer produced and is increasingly difficult to find.
