- So, there I was, in my shop, rebuilding the carburetor on my riding lawn mower. I needed to make some quick gaskets for the carb to intake, and carb to airpipe joints. I realize I could just buy new

- Hi Wayne, I had the opportunity to make a gasket for something that was sort of unobtainium. Took the old digital camera, shot a nice close-up, measured the major dimensions and made a simple b/w pri

- I don't have any tricks for pattern-making, but I thought I'd mention that you needn't use special gasket material. I've never done it myself, but I've watched people make gaskets out of cereal boxes

- There are also punches for the job. Harbor freight will sell you a set for less than 5 bucks. They only go to 1/2", but my brass tube collection doesn't exist.

- We once made a new head gasket for an air cooled dirt bike from an aluminum Coke can as a temporary fix. It worked so well, that it stayed in place until the next engine tear down was required. I hav

- There's one trick I haven't seen here yet. If you have room to lay the gasket material against the flange, you can use a small hammer (ball peen works good) and tap around the inside and outside of t
