Well, i've decided to try the 2 carbs on my aq120b engine.
When I took the old intake manifold off, it was glued to the head. It was a bugger to clean the head, but it's done.
Now I need to know if the new gasket actually needs glue.
And if it does(and I hope it doesn't) does it go on the head side of the gasket, or the manifold side of the gasket.

I use a light coating of marine grease on both sides of gaskets.....makes everything a lot easier at disassembly time.....in fact I re-use the gaskets when I can...

No gasket sealer needed. Torque per the spec in the manual.

Well, everyone made my day.. It's going together without glue or gasket maker or anything at all.
Thanks.
