I have found that some of the rubber gaskets are a lot thicker than the old cork type. Maybe the old cork type just flatten out over time?? Point is that with the thick rubber gasket the vent wants to stay "up" a little and not seal off real good because the handle doesn't catch in the right spot as the vent won't come down. Sometimes I have had to put a lot stronger spring on it to "make" it stay pulled down. I think next time, on my 52, I'm going with an original type! All this is just my thought and opinon as well as my experience with it.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
