When I rebuilt my carbs, the bike wouldn't run good at
all. I tightened up the intake bolts and the carb
clamp...no change. The next day I tightened the top
cap..just a little bit...and it was a whole new bike...was
easily tuned and I really haven't done much fiddling since
then. You need the gaskets...the top cap is really
leakable. Just my $.02

 Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question. I seem to remember that maybe 10
years ago Joe
Eish told me that the paper gasket at the top of the carb
was not
necessary. Have any of you heard the same thing, or is
my memory going
bad....(no big surprise)

Thanks again everyone!
