Topic: Cork Float Bowl Gasket

[whitey6913]

Just picked up a 1978 cb550k3. Learning pretty quickly these aren't common carbs on the bike Anyhow, went to find float bowl gaskets and came up empty. So, went to the auto parts store and picked up a sheet of 1/16" rubberized cork. Just wanted to see if anyone has gone this route and has input before I put all the effort into cutting some up.

Float bowl gasket is an o ring so cork wont work. Gasket kit same as cB750A www.davidsilverspares.co.uk did have stock
