kerryd15 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi I drained the gas out of the carbs on my merc 50 and the gaskets are like paper or cardboard. well they got wet and fell apart. Could a guy use an o-ring instead? silicone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatfixer Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 No silicone, not intended for use with gasoline. I would want to put the right type gasket back in there. Problem is the gasket will be part of a kit and a dealer will want to sell you the whole kit. If you know of a shop in your area, ask them if they have any left over from a kit. I'm a bit of a pack rat when it comes to that stuff and I know I've got some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delcecchi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I don't think the basic kits are that expensive, right? Check the large auction site. Or search for places that don't charge full price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
