Husqvarna 61 gaskets

[Rfarr1994]

Trying to put a 61 back together I just bought and am trying to make sure I have all the gaskets for the intake right. Is there a gasket between the carb and airhorn and someone before me just left it out or this correct?

According to the parts diagram I found online, there is supposed to be 501-535-801 "air filter holder mount spacer", yet it says its NLA and I can't find it anywhere. I haven't torn into my 61 yet so idk for sure. Someone who's had one apart should be along soon.

There isn't one in my 61. I rebuilt it last fall and had no issues with it all winter.

Most of the solid inlet manifolds I have worked on only ever had 1 off the cyl and 1 in between carb and manifold adaptor. Can't say I recall a gasket between carb and Air filter mount. Could be wrong

I’ve got 2 61’s from around 95 I believe and neither have it. I’ve looked at the ipl and it looks like on some years they had a gasket there and some they didn’t? I’m not too sure though.

I f it is any help mine is a 1988 grey top and it doesn't have one either. But at the same time I just picked it up last year and it was toast when I got it.

Most I’ve taken apart don’t have it either.

Yeah I put them back together without and they run fine, just seemed weird to me it was the only part of the intake without a gasket.

It's before fuel gets added to the air, so more or less air entering before the carb won't make a difference in how it runs.

Added to that air will take the path of least resistance I.e through the AF so no real need for a gasket on the side . Love to see it finished father in law has one unfortunately I'm afraid it's in need of more than gaskets .Good luck with it

I have 2 61's currently on my bench. the 1993 model has no gasket between the airhorn and carb. the 1988 version also does not have a gasket there. all the others i've had apart have all been the same. should only be 2 gaskets on the intake side, 1 between the carb and inlet spacer and 1 between the spacer and the cylinder

I bought my Husky 162 brand new in 79 and it is basicaly the same saw as the 61 mine never had a gasket.
