Air Filter to Carb Gasket

In doing a quick once over under the hood, I noticed that the air filter 'horn" that attaches to the top of the carb was loose. I tightened the clamp as far as it would go, and it was still loose. So I looked in my FSM and there is supposed to be a gasket that sits atop the carb where the air filter horn mounts, to seal this up, which mine does not have. Does anyone have a part number or a source for this gasket? FYI, it is a Solex carb.

Thanks!

Sorry I dont have a part number but I have a quick fix. Neither the solex or carter yf I have had one. I ended up using a piece of shrink tubing (without heating it) fitted into the grove in the air horn. It works and I cant hear an air leak.

 

Walck's has a part for it but like lots of repro parts it is made of rubber-like material that will hold up for a year at best.

 

I made on out of gasket material same id as the carter top easy fix

 

Gasket Material?? Do you have a photo pilebuck??

 

Gwillys, will have to take a look at what I have laying around, might have some shrink tube.

 

just a felt of regular gasket material and trace it just a donut to fit on the top of youe carter mine is about 1/8 in thick hope this helps you

 

For what its worth, I found a solution that works for me. Stretched 2 rings of bicycle inner tube rubber over the top of the carb. Sits flush with the top of the carb and goes all the way down over the triangular rib that the clamp mounts to. Tightened up great, very solid! Even sounds different, no air leaks.

 

sounds good
