I did a couple of these this past week, the intake is plastic...and it tends to warp some where it meets the metal carb body. I took the gasket off, put the plastic intake on some sandpaper taped to a sheet of glass, and sanded it as flat as I felt comfortable with. THEN..i put some JB Kwik weld on the gasket (both sides) and let it set up a few minutes, then put the studs through and snugged them down using a cross pattern...then assembled it. Fixed both...
Symptom was..it cranked right up, idled great..but only ran on 1 cylinder....rev it up and it would sputter a second, then clear up and purr.
