tex · Post by **tex** » Tue Dec 13, 2016 7:14 am

kicked over and runs, seems to have a pretty good air leak between the carb insulators and block, (High Rev, almost sounds like shes trying to run away from time to time)

-is there a better gasket than the oring out there?
- would red rtv work between the insulator and block?

Comments, S*** or Suggestions please lol

I'd try a new o ring first. They do work. What is the condition of the spacer?

Before installing heat spacers check for flatness with wet/dry paper on glass or other flat surface do the same for carb flange. After confirming that all surfaces are flat install new O-rings with grease. If you can't find the correct O-rigs, slash cut an O-ring that has the proper thickness. Don't over tighten the carb mounting nuts!

It is easy to warp the carb flange by over-tightening. After that you're on to a loser. Get the carb flanges flat and start from there.
