Anyone recommend an available modern gasoline / alcohol safe form-a-gasket type stuff ?. How about an available soft gasket material - gas/alc safe?.
Help info on sealing 1904 float bowls appreciated (anecdotes not so much)
THanks
In a related thread about gas with alcohol mentioned recent Hollley 1904 glass float bowl leak problems . Years ago I found NOS cork/composition soft gaskets which sealed the glass bowls with no leaks until recently. New leaks revealed cork/composition gaskets deteriorated with the black composition (rubber/neoprene?) crumbling into carb ( which may be alcohol related-). I got fresh rebuild kits which have hard (cardboard?) bowl gaskets but even coated with copper gasket helper I can't get the hard gaskets to seal. 'considering trying a form-a-gasket but what stuff survives constant gas/alc?.
Cork/rubber(?) soft gaskets had worked fine now all FdU':
