Carburettor Gasket?
« on: April 09, 2014, 09:16:10 PM »
Hello all! Took the top if the carb off today to clean it up and realised the rubber seal around the top of the carb was crap and was leaking oil on the exhaust. Ive looked on 126fan and ebay and cant seem to find the rubber gasket anywhere? Any suggestions?

There shouldn'r be oil in the carb, sounds like the oil system might be pressuring and the oil is coming from the breather. No idea where to gaskets

It would have been sucked though the air filter over time via the breather pipe. If you take the breather pipe off you may well be able to clean it out

thats what happened to mine, breather pipe was taken off air box and carb cleaned.

Rubber gasket I couldnt get anywhere, but a kind club member sent a spare one he had.
