Carb gasket thickness?
Can anyone tell me what thickness the gasket material is on the the caps and float bowls of a set of vm26 carbs? I want to get some material and try cutting my own.
Thanks in advance.Tags: None

About the same thickness as a cornflake box.....
Seriously Graham, that's all you need. Those gaskets aren't intended to hold back fuel, rather just stop it slopping out as you brake / accelerate. The float valves control fuel flow / level.
And don't bother with the gaskets for the caps (unless you are going off road in the Sahara).79 GS1000S
