Honda CB750 K1 Carb bowl gaskets

(1/3) > >>

750rideruk:
I have recently refurbed all the carbs on my 1972 K1. I bench fitted all the bowl gaskets while on the bench but needed to remove the bowls once fitted to the bike. The gaskets drop out and are very difficult to locate back into the carb body, especially the centre carbs. Does anyone have any methods to ensure they are located securely without removing the carbs again.
Thanks in anticipation

Oddjob:
Can't you glue them to the float bowls?

It's not the best idea but when you have to replace the O-Rings on the 500/550 carbs you need to glue them into place or they won't fit. It's just another version of doing that.

Nurse Julie:
The 750K was glued in rubber gasket from original with a light smear of high temp contact glue.

Julie,

I know the frustration of those gaskets.  I tried a smear of Wellseal but that disn't last.

Is there a preferred brand of glue?

Cheers,

Jerry

We use Alpha AF178 which is a high temp contact adhesive. Not sure if it can be bought in small tubes though, as we buy it in a 1L tin.
