fitting new carb?
hi guys
got myself a new carb to throw on my zen 260, i have the gaskets & new spacer etc... but just wondering should i put gasket sealer on the gasket or not? Ive always used gasket sealer on the gaskets for engine head etc... but im just worried putting sealer on the carb gasket cuz when i tighten the bolts the sealant will prob spread out & may enter the carb etc!?
any ideas :s ?
ta in advance guys

RE: fitting new carb?
I think the opposite as I've given myself that same issue before trying to be "safe"
The ONLY gas proof sealants that I know of is either thread sealant or indian head sealant, there's also yamabond... a fresh paper gasket is more than enough though.
