Got my carb back from a rebuilt at Mark's off road and after the clouds parted I finally had an opportunity to put the carb back on. I noticed a couple things while putting it back on but didnt want to call Mark and take his time away from rebuilding his next carb.
Two things I'm looking for clarification on that I am having a hard time finding answers to.
1. I ordered a new gasket from SOR. The previous owner had used silicon to help seal the carb to the manifold so I had to use a gasket scraper to clean most of it up. Previous owner also damaged the (plastic?) gasket that sits on the manifold. Do I need to order this gasket as well as or should I be fine with just the one gasket? (Land Cruiser Carburetors, Parts, Kits & Gaskets part #042-90B is what I have ordered and have on hand).
2. I noticed theres a hose with a metal tip that insert into the barrel on the manifold. It just slides into place but is loose to the touch. should this be a snug fit? I didn't notice this hose when I originally took the carb off so I dont have much to reference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
