SXR Stock Carb Gaskets?

[RivMan]

So I've pulled apart my stock intake setup, and noticed that there's a spacer between the carbs and the intake. Do I need a total of 4 carb gaskets to get this thing bolted back together?

Thanks

I run a gasket on any metal to metal surface,these things aint Bentlys. How many gaskets did you take off?

Kawi uses the coated metal gaskets. If the coating is still good you can re-use them. If damages, gently scrap off, then go buy some Copper Ultra Coat by Permatex, I think that is the name. It is like a copper spray paint. Paint both sides and let dry. Then use them. I pulled my carbs on my SXR 20 times I bet, I only replaced gaskets one time I think.

Good to know, I've got a can of Copper Coat sitting here!

Thanks

I use a gasket on both sides of that metal spacer. Does anybody use a gasket between the carb and a f/a adaptor?

A gasket on top isn't necessary at all.

Yes, you will need a total of 4 gaskets when changing the carbs. I have reused mine for multiple carb removals. Gasket is not needed on the FA for the junction is above the carb inlet.
