550 carbs 069A. Question about gaskets.

(1/3) > >>

Andy1488:
Hi all,, newbie with a question about my carbs.
My intro explains my current project.
Modified cb550(E), with 069A carbs. These have been modded by a PO, which includes the removal of choke butterflies (don't ask).
My main concern is  my leaky bowls,( there's a joke there somewhere).
Anyway, the gasket in question are house shaped,  BUT I think I've also read, or misread that the correct gasket is actually round.
Can somebody please correct me and tell me which ones are the correct ones.. any links etc would be appreciated. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

SteveW:
I’m sure mine were round, I held them in place when refitting with a tiny, tiny amount of red rubber grease.

Sesman:
No gasket for the float bowls, it’s an oring seal. Nurse Julie stocks these. The coffin shaped tops are a gasket, but rarely need attention, if required You can make these yourself.

Laverdaroo:
2nd that, Julie's yer man. (so to speak ;D)

Andy1488:
So it's the round gasket/o ring type...brilliant.
Being new to the site, nurse Julie...???
