Admittedly, i'm using $10 carbs. But i've noticed the rubber float bowl gaskets on both Tecumseh and Predator carbs, after being used, are like hugely oversized. To the point where i can't use them again.
If i remove a float bowl, the rubber bowl gaskets are just too large to get back into place. It's like they stretched!
what is causing this? Yes i am running standard pump gas which is 10% alcohol.
i mean it's not a huge deal. A new carb in either case is like $10 (including shipping!) but i can never remove a float bowl for fear that the rubber gasket will no longer fit.
