Carb Holders

26 Jun 2008 23:50

Is there supposed to be a gasket or O ring between the carb holders and the head? When I took them off there seems to b a groove that an o ring would seat into; however, nothing was there. I've referenced the manual and Internet and could not find anything to say one way or another.

Thanks.

New carb holders will have a raised "O" ring cast on the mating surface. Make sure the engine surface is clean and don't over tighten...
