Carb gaskets.

[cbaker65]

I went ahead an pulled the carb, & insulator ,upon inspecting it ,don't see any damage however ,the carb gasket was wet
between the insulator & gasket ,that maybe an indication that it is leaking causing the hard starts & not too good of an
idle ,as I have to play with the throttle to keep it running ,no matter where the needles & idle screw is set!

The insulator is new an was on the engine ,so not warped ,however on further looking & thinking ,I am not sure if the little
hole on the gaskets are even lining up on the block ,insulator an carb.!

Also ,the gaskets are very thin an are hard ,I would think that you would want a little bit thicker an the material to be more
plyable or softer to seal good ,hell ,may as well just have no gasket at all!

I think that they need to be poop canned an find a better quality gasket set!.....

If your not happy with them get some new ones, it will give you piece of mind at least ??
Btw.. You really must upgrade the potato you take your pics with?

Make your own. Go to local auto parts and buy the gasket sheet. Get the black one. I got mine at autozone for $7
This is the one I got

This is the answer. You can make tons of top quality gaskets for cheap if you do it yourself. Much less prone to blowouts.

I may have to!..
I had some commercial engine carb gaskets in my stash ,so I used them ,they are a little thicker & softer!

If that cures it ,then I would know that it is the problem ,then I will do a purchase!...

And get an 1107 carb

Wasnt sure who he was referring to!

The new engine that I got is indeed a 35cc ,that is what it says on the cover ,not sure if it is a true 35cc though
knowing off brand reputation!....
