[Fot] Misab seals

[Robert Lang]

 Hi,
I've used "thackery washers" for 25 years - never had a problem when installed correctly. The gaskets are the plastic things with o-rings on either side. Just don't crank then down - use a feeler gauge and look for a consistent gap, like .025.

I tried the rubber washers with zero success. The o-rings failed. That was a long time ago...
Regards,

Bob Lang

 The rubber spring mounts washers and their little metal caps suck toads. You want multi-turn spring washers or flat wave washers. You tighten them down a little and check the gap with feeler gauges. It’s hard to find weber mount kits that come with them these days. I accidentally bought the squishy rubber ones once and they died in a weekend.

Weber soft mounts should be tightened to a specific spacing between the carbs and the intake manifold. I don't remember the spec offhand but the soft mount instructions tell you what the correct distance is.

I'd go with the too tight theory. The seals on my Gt6 did the same thing after very few miles . Replaced them with new and only slightly tightened and so far so good..                               P.J.

Thes misab Weber seals are almost new and deteriorating already. Poor quality? or does anyone know of another reason? Too tight? Does anyone know of better alternatives?Marcel
