I get quite a few calls from folks wanting me to sell a single carburetor gasket. It isn't going to happen; some folks understand, others appear angry.



Most are familiar with the old "hammer" method of cutting gaskets, but there is another way that gives better results.



So, at the risk of reducing my carburetor kit business wink for those of you wishing a single carburetor bowl to body gasket, or similar:



(1) Clean the casting for the gasket

(2) Place the casting on your scanner

(3) Scan the casting using Adobe Acrobat, or some other software of your choosing that will do exact dimensions copy

(4) Put a sheet of gasket material in your printer

(5) Print the scan

(6) Borrow a pair of fingernail scissors from your significant other (better yet, buy your own)

(7) Cut out the gasket.

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.

Now if we have a 3-D printer, what parts can we make?

We don't have one, and probably too old to learn to use one wink
