nheather Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have been following this excellent guide http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=70981 I have done my backplate and the blanking screw for the booster bottle. Just the carb left to do, but I have a question first. In the photographs, it shows the part of the carb that slides into the engine without an O-Ring. Mine has an O-Ring. So is this deliberate - you will acheive a better seal with the gasket than with the O-Ring. Should I remove the O-Ring and use sealent or should I keep the O-Ring aswell as the sealent? Cheers, Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterjay Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 i always leave the o-rigs on mate it adds to the seal ,ive had no probs doing so either , ive also sealed the head too , but that usually isn't essential to do i think its just me thinking it needs to be done in my own mind lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
