squid Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think me gasket in between the float chamber and the main body has died. I dont know if its because I've opened up the carb about 4 times this week or its just old. Anyway after cleaning the insides to try and solve me latest problem fuels actually dripping out between the gap. Is it best to buy the standard gasket or do many of you use a liquid sealer.

alan_nc Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Are you using a fuel filter? If you aren't I would put one of those on first. Just my .02 Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony283 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Squid, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOVER ever use any silicone sealant anywhere near a carb!!!!!! Fit the correct gasket and do not over tighten! Undo it one more time, make sure it is seated correctly, refit the bowl, soft tap with ruber hammer and screw it up.
