hi all what sort of job is it to replace the two rubber seals each end of the carb manafold engine is a 1600 ct air cooled in my camper
??? do i have to remove the two elbows each side or can i undo jubile clips and remove and replace rubber seals x 2 ????please help but not doing it in the rain
at the moment

well i knuckled down to it inbetwwen showers hail & thunder and removed all inlet manafold parts and i think iv found the engine running problems
1 is left hand rubber joining manafolds together is split out of sight right under jubile clip

Nice auto sleeper hi top.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nice camper owned her long

When you order the gaskets for the manifold to cylinder head ,I think you can get card board ones I think ,which would seal better than the metal ones.
Cheers dazz

on them
