Unhappy carb spacer gaskets....

why did you guys tell me not to remove them. J/k I didn't ask for one thing. But what is done is done i just want to know what i can do now. I do have new gaskets from the carb rebuild kit that why i i removed them inthe first place. Will it be laa right should i use some silicone? Should i just buy a new one? Thanks in advance Peter A.

Oh BTW, don't remove those

I'd get a new spacer. Or used one in good condition.

Dont listen to him. I removed mine and used the new ones from the carb rebuild kit and it has been working fine for me. Although, the new ones dont stick as well with the old ones I have noticed.

On adhesive, I'd use Parmatex's High Tack Spray-a-Gasket sealant. Part # 80064.
