New float bowl gaskets. Leaks

As Patton posted...be SURE that it's NOT the "T" fittings between the carbs that are leaking.
It fooled Me for 2 years,before I figured it out.

Anybody considered using an old gasket as a template and cutting some new ones from thick cork gasket material? They don't look like they'd be all that difficult. I've done it with outboard carbs before.

Yup. I went to Autozone and they carry really thich cork, like almost 1/8", but they didn't have it on the shelf with the other paper and cork... strange. I asked the guy and he said they have some in the back. Sure enough. He didn't know why they don't put it on the shelves.

I put a super-fine layer of anti-sieze on the gaskets and they always come off like new. I have some carbs that I've had apart 10 times for jetting experiments in the last 5 years and have never had to replace a gasket and haven't leaked a single drop.

If the casting is bent, I can't say what would happen.

Thanks for all the info guys.
