Weber rebuild:: gasket adhesive
 

I am rebuilding a pair of 40 IDA 3C carburetors. What adhesive is normally used on the gaskets ---- hardening, non-hardening? Wayne's 101 Projects book does not cover this.

Thanks,

Rick

No sealant on the Weber carbs - too much of a risk plugging small fuel channels.
- The copper / aluminum gaskets are sealing rings and do just fine on their own
- The top gasket compresses enough to prevent leaking and should not be in constant contact with fuel
- Accelerator pump on side I think uses a rubber / plastic gasket - again, no sealant.

That explains why I could not find any reference to which sealant to use. Thanks a heap, Andrew!

Best,
Rick
