If you are using a cereal box then I look forward to reading how you motor has developed a mysterious air leak and you melted a hole in your piston. Good luck.

I completely agree, and that is why I said to use a nachos box.

Planning to try a 22mm carb on my LIS150 in the not too distant future. Question is, do I need to fit an inlet manifold gasket, or can I get away with using gasket sealant? Also, if a gasket is recommended, is it OK to buy gasket paper and make my own? Sorry if it sounds a dumb question, but I have done loads of reading, and nowhere have I seen it give a definite yes or no!
Cheers

Gaskets are cheap and easy to come by. I literally have 100's of extras from various builds. Every gasket set comes with at least 1 intake and they are only used about 1/4 of the time in rebuilds (seal/bearing jobs).

If you are changing your manifold then replace the gasket (use gasket sealer). If you are using a cereal box then I look forward to reading how you motor has developed a mysterious air leak and you melted a hole in your piston. Good luck.

Nachos out of a box? That's down right criminal. What's next, cheese in a can?
