[AT] Gaskets for Zenith carburetors

[charlie hill]

Phil the way I usually do it is to place the gasket material on the part and 
then lightly tap on the material with the peen end of a small ball peen 
hammer, following all the contours and holes of the part that needs the 
gasket.  Then just a little triming and you have a nice gasket.  That is the 
way I was taught to do it when I was a boy.
