My new Carb is coming in the mail.
I don't see a traditional gasket to join the face of the carb to the inlet manifold on this Sthil 026 or should I say, what I call a gasket that I would cut out from a sheet from NAPA appears to be a much large black rubber sort of gasket at the point where carb meets intake port. Does this big rubber looking gasket need to be replaced or will it reseal the new carb from intake leaks? Sthil calls this big rubber looking gasket a "washer" in my 024-026 Sthil Manual at the top of page 52.
Next, inside the inlet port itself they have something called ' a sleeve'. I have never seen ' a sleeve' that is slide inside the bore of an inlet port. The closest thing I've seen to this is what they call a ' reed valve'. Anyone have a clue on this ' sleeve' and do I need to replace the ' washer' when the new carb comes in?
Is it just me? I must be getting old. I guess I'll throw my sheet of gasket material away for when I use to simply cut out a new gasket from the outline of the old gasket. I've never even heard the term 'washer' at the point where the carb attaches to the inlet hole on the jug.
