Default Carburetor Base Gasket not Sealing
I just rebuilt my Super Cobra Jet 460 but am having trouble with the carburetor gasket not sealing. When I spray carburetor starter fluid at the base of the carburetor the engine revs. Sure sign that the gasket isn't sealing. I tried two different gaskets, checked to ensure the surfaces of the Quick Fuel carburetor and Toker II manifold are clean, but still no luck. I don't dare tighten the bolts anymore for fear of striping them. Any suggestions?
