[AT] Gaskets for Zenith carburetors

[John Wilkens]

John, I've about given up trying to find these kind of small carb parts.  I 
resort to a sharp craft knife, a set of magnifying glasses (optional if 
you're a young guy) and a set of small hole punches that I apply with my 
drill press for a clean job.  I use a smooth rubber floor tile to cut 
on.  Keeps the knife sharp and helps hold the gasket material from 
slipping.  I just bite the bullet and make 3 or 4 at a time--while I have a 
good pattern.  Wish we had a supply source like Robert's JD carb 
parts!  The home made gaskets work fine as long as you use the right 
thickness of gasket material.   John W.
