This may be a dumb question but...
I am in the process (limited $ build right now) on getting my hands on some 61x cases and intake/reeds and using my existing 650 top end. Will do a little home port job. Later, when I have a few extra dollars I can move up to the 701 top end with ease.
Since I am not using the 6m6 cases I don't think ordering a gasket kit for the 6m6 would be the thing to do, right? The intake gaskets for the 61x would be different right? What about the case gaskets and base gaskets for the cylinders, would I use 61x or 6m6 or does it matter?
Also, do most of you use any kind of gasket maker stuff along with the gaskets for you carb base gaskets? I had put my carb on one time using just the gaskets and had a wicked backfire that blew up my water box. Got a used water box, put the carb on with some sealer and gaskets and never had a problem. Figures I had an air leak.
Is there a place that most of you use for ordering your oem gaskets? I have used parkeryamaha.com, but I am sure there are others that might have better prices maybe?
Thanks for the help.
