I'm thrilled.
Started it up for the first time tonight, and I put it in and hooked it all up myself. Finally gave up with my solenoid trouble and went out and bought a new starter yesterday. (60 bucks with lifetime warranty) Now she turns right over Hooked up the carbs and linkage and at first couldn't get it to fire and that was a downer. After some looking around found out I had the fuel pump wired backwards (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif) Turn the key.. heard it fire a couple of times and then she comes to life... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Freakin' loud without the muffler on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Anyways, I need to get some new gaskets for inbetween the heads and the carb manifolds. Is there anything specific I need to buy (size) ?? TIA. |

Those gaskets are near new, and the phenolic part of them is still good. I say just clean off the paper gasket material, smear some RTV on them, and install them. You could go to the trouble of cutting new paper gaskets, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm pretty sure the paper gaskets are not available separately, and the assemblies are kinda pricey, for gaskets.
