Intake and Reed Cage Seal
« on: October 07, 2014, 06:26:48 pm »
I have an 87 lt250r. With the stock reed cage, intake, and carb.

What do you recommend to seal the intake and reed cage surfaces?  I recently had my carb apart to clean and rejet. Now I have a bad air leak. The old gasket looked like hell.

Does a gasket go between the reed cage and cylinder or between I take and reed cage. Or both?

Also. Do they still make an "87 plate" so I could use a 6 bolt V Force on an 87 motor?
Thanks

Use a gasket between both the reed and cylinder and the reed and rubber manifold.  We make a reed that uses the 12 petal V2 reed cage

I was treated to a VForce 3 Reed from my wife..  Now.. I have everything cleaned up..  do i install the gaskets dry or put something like Permatex High Tack on both sides of gasket surfaces?
