CARBURETOR BASE GASKETS

Open Hole, 4500 Series Base Gasket

One of the leading causes of base plate cracking is the use of improper carburetor to manifold gaskets. Most gaskets are too thick (.062) and the materials are too soft. They become "spongy" from absorbing the fuel being used. Using quality material and a reduced thickness to .047 greatly reduce the risk of cracking base plates.
