This may be a series of stupid question from a newbie.
Air filters can be cleaned, right?
I started cleaning my carbs last night and discovered a couple of the o-rings were dried out and brittle. They need replacement. I was able to carefully separate the gaskets from the bowls and the carb covers. They are in good shape.
I am trying to avoid the cost of $100 for all new gaskets/o-rings as part of a carb overhaul set I don't really need.
1. Can I reuse the gaskets if I seal them with some RTV or similar?
2. Can I buy just any rubber ring of the same size?
I am guessing not on question 1. But I think I can save a chunk by making my own gaskets. Are their any suggestions for materials. They look like paper gaskets?
Lastly, is it normal for two of the choke plates to have a little trap door type thing in them, and two to not have this trap door?
Any help or advice on any of the above would be great.
Thanks!
