Carburetor Question

[tricknasty84]

I am going to be receiving a rebuilt Hitachi carb from National Carburetors fairly soon here, and I'm just wondering what gaskets need to be put on where it's mounted for it to run correctly? Any help is appreciated.

First off, I would certainly hope that your brand new (rebuilt) carb would come with the necessary gaskets in the package.

If not, then check out the carburetor rebuild thread in the DIY section. I believe the kit has the gaskets in it. Better yet, you can trace your old gasket onto some gasket material and cut out your own a whole lot cheaper.

There will be a gasket between the carb and the spacer and another between the spacer and the intake manifold.

Oh ok thanks man, when you say the spacer do you mean the thick piece that actually attaches to the carb?

[fastboatman29212]

Yeah. It's labeled in the photo in my first post.

Awesome thanks man.
