  • carb holders..gaskets?

    I just got my new carb holders today from partsnmore. the old ones I took off the bike didn't have gaskets on them. The new ones look like they don't need gaskets, they have a little rib that looks like it does the sealing, gaskets were supplied. Does anyone know... to use gaskets or not.

    I didn't use the gaskets. Mine is sealed fine, 3 years now.

      &quot;Hey... now THAT&quot;S uncalled for!&quot;

      I agree with Pat. Doesn't call fer gaskets. That little O ring rib thing works fine.

        I've seen the gaskets, but never had any in 16 years. Can't say I ever missed them either.
        There's always a way, figure it out.
