      Picking up a few parts to do a rebuild on my carb. When I disassembled the carb the previous owner used a nozzle gasket, but the parts breakdown doesn’t show one for that motor.
      Would anyone know why it was left off on that model, and I also believe a few others as well.
      Thanks,
      Bob D

        It isn’t used, nor needed on models with an adjustable highspeed needle. Why? Because adjusting the needle compensates for any leakage between the main nozzle and float bowl..

          Thanks Frank for the explanation.
          I kind of thought you would be the person who would know the answer.

            Not necessarily. The topic has been discussed many times. I was just the fastest to get to the keyboard in this event.
