Cork gaskets on fuel bowl?

[cclemon]

Thanks in advance you guys are a great help. I did a search but did not find the answer. I am rebuilding the carbs on a 1990 90 hp fource and the fuel bowl gaskets are cork. They are not broken, but are in bad shape and I am concerned the will fail. Will I need to goto a dealer to get new ones or can I use something else. I hope I don't have to buy the kits to get the gaskets, I don't realy need the kits.

Sorry to have to tell you, but the gasket is only available in the kit.<br />They make O-ring material which you can cut to length, but it will allways leak...At least it did the only two time I ever used it.<br />I bought an "O-ring kit"..What a waste of time and greenage.

Bulk cork is available at parts stores but the time and effort cutting it with a razor blade is not....and if they leak you are back to the beginning again. Buy the kit! I agree w/12 Footer save your money and buy the right things.<br /><br />Bob
