Fuel bowl gasket
« on: August 30, 2015, 02:12:28 PM »
Hi all on a wet afternoon. Ideal for putting a carb back together.

I brought a repair kit from Cruzinimage of eBay fame, all going well until the fuel bowl gasket. It seems to be over size for the groove that exists. I can just about squeeze it all in but a bit usually pops out. Have any of you had a similar experience? Did you use some sort of glue to hold it in place? If so what?

Thanks,
Greg

I just changed the pilots in mine and the gaskets seemed to have expanded from when I originally did them, I managed to get them to stay in the grooves with a smear of Hylomar blue.
