Re: Evinrude carb gasket with wire mesh opening
Obviously haven’t run a 6039 Speeditwin without the front cover..Oh well..
Now onto the gasket question. Most of the time the carb gasket with the mesh is there on carbs with springs on the poppet valve so if the spring breaks it doesn’t get into the crankcase and cylinders. I make my own. I have some old stock heavy bronze screen. I make two thick gaskets and coat the mating sides with some 3M gasket sealer and then press the 2 gaskets together with the screen in the middle in a flat jaw vice. I have also used 1/8th hardware cloth.
