Question about SU HD8 carb gasket kits

I bought a set of gasket kits from Moss and I have already noticed that the float chamber gaskets need to be stretched over the rim to fit. Is this normal or is there a better quality kit out there for these carburetors?

Thanks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif

Nevermind,

I friend has recommended Joe Curto, but he suggested soaking the gaskets to make them work instead of sending them back.

I agree, David UNLESS there is a HUGE difference. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Might I make a request for all the OFs that have their monitors set to 800 x 600 for EASE of viewing?? Please reduce you INCORRECTLY labeled /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif sig pic to about 500 wide?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif

Not a huge diffence but I'll try again when I'm done polishing the carburetors.

Btw, You should step up to a monitor that views at 1280x768. Best thing since sliced bread. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This VERY nice 21" flat is capable of even better. It's just EASIER of these (and LOTS of others) to look at said 21" at 800 and be able to NOT strain eyes!! Mine are 6 decades old.

Whats that prob with shrinking the pic?? Don't know HOW??

This OF can do it for you and send to you if you want.

Geesh

The text size in your browser can be enlarged seperately. At 1280x768 I still have 3" to the right of my signature.
