I’ve used “good” dense cell cork gasket material before that worked okay.

Prepare to be boarded!

Dang, that is a bit pricey. Time to break out the exacto knife.

I dunno. Yeah, it’s pricey but it beats catching on fire and blowing up…That being said, I like the cork material idea. It seems like a standard o-ring might distort and move out of place over time.

Long live American manufacturing!

I had found some on ebay that probably would work for a lot less but it ended up about half the thickness of the factory. Ended up breaking down and getting a factory one when I had a list of other parts to order so shipping didnt seem so bad. It is expensive for what it is. The bigger side mount bowl gasket isnt as bad but close!

I’ll try few options…. suggested cork sounds be very brittle to cut-up but we shall see.

I may try grinding a piece of tubing or two to make a punches . I got time but thankfully the

New-England big snow dump (18-24 inches) missed Montrteal 🙂

Well I ended up using a carburator/power head gasket … the ID hole fits nicely for the glass bowl and all I had to do was trim away the OD to fit the carb bowl recess in the carb body.

hopefully it will do the job if not I’ll just install a more appropriate gasket after sea (lake) trials next summer. Currently the prop would suffer to much damage 🙂

I had a Sierra filter bowl gasket move out of place on my 40 HP lark. I will stick with OEM.
