Another thing is when you remove the carb bowls without removing the carbs from the engine, it can be difficult to put them back on without pinching the gasket. Use a mirror to make sure the gasket is positioned in its groove all around before tightening the bowl.

Supposed to be superior to both the paper and cork gaskets: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320625111138#ht_1255wt_1165 I have ordered a pair of them to see how they will work and will let the lists know what I find out.
