ive tried single gaskets, double gaskets, gaskets and sealer and my carb still will not seal to the inlet!!!
its a twin choke weber with the ally adapter plate on a 1200 inlet.

took it for setting up other day and the guy said fix the air leak then bring it back...

anyone got any more ideas ????
cheers, Mark.

I'd say a skim on the faces, but thats tricky with a carb. Maybe another carb?

I assume you are cleaning the faces properly before using gaskets or sealers?

I'd have thought you would struggle fitting a twin choke carb on a 1200 inlet. Post some pictures up.

As said i would try another carb, if no luck skim the manifold and try again...or get another manifold...??
