Title: Copper on gaskets?
Post by: Toronado on March 31, 2011, 02:32:58 PM

Was just reading about a product claiming its designed for
gaskets and for carb gaskets to.

 They claim it fills gaps irregularities, and prevents burn out,
any one every try this copper spray that goes on gaskets.
I think the concept sounds good for slightly leaky carbs,
you could spray the area that leaky to give it more sealing area.

What happens to all the little copper particles that DON'T get trapped between the castings?

"I" would not want them floating around inside my carb.

You not suppose to use it directly on the carb itself.
Its designed to be used on the gasket and allowed to bond to it
before installation.
 Supposedly it has a good adhere ability and
pieces don't just fall off.
I figure i will do some testing with it,
because copper is actually one of the best gasket material around ;D.
