#85494 vegasdave (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 782 Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   If I`m trying to make sure my carb is sealing between the carb and manifold.Do you think a slight lubing of the carb to manifold with vasoline would be OK,or to clean dry and then mate the two?   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85499 smhowse (User) NOPE, it's a Roadstar! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1512 Re:Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I would say mate it up dry. Is it the OEM or aftermarket?

Expert Boarder Posts: 418 Re:Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   FYI...If memory serves me, you should never use vaseline on rubber type products as it has a tendency to break it down and I don't know how hot the manifold gets, but vaseline has a melting point of just over 100.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #85567 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4878 Re:Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I'm from a different school of thought I guess. I have used (for years BTW) a very light coat of automotive bearing grease (Valvoline synthetic , to be precise) in these areas , and it works wonders. Go's in easy, works like a seal , and to be honest , if it ain't harming the seals that it is up against in your typical rotor set up for a car.....I can't imagine it would damage the rubber intake either. Just a thought.

That will help make sure the clamp is tightening down on the carb and not the spacer. I put mine in dry because I think it will hold better. If it goes in real easy it can come out real easy too. Dry you have the clamp and friction holding it in tight. My op anywho.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #85698 sundance (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 122 Re:Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I guess I screwed up then, I put vasaline on both the intake manifold/carb junction and on the diaphram on the top of the carb to hold it in the grove when I reassembled it. Now what?? guess I need to clean it off ?   Logged     b]Sundance[/b]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #85703 Musky (Moderator) Doc took Grams beer Moderator Posts: 13518 Re:Question? 7 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I use wheel bearing grease on the diaphram and the manifold O rings to hold them in place during assembly.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
