Hey guys I have been trying a few different things to stop ripping carb gaskets.
What do you use to make them last longer?

Tried WD40... worked somewhat OK, not 100%

Will try the Chapstick next time….thanks.

Moroso Buna N gaskets are vastly superior to even the blue gaskets.

Cooking spray helps as well. Especially on the paper ones.

i coat the gaskets on my motorcycle carbs with Vaseline.....works like a charm

I've used Vaseline on carb gaskets and the carb to intake plate gaskets. It also helps the plate gasket to get a better seal against vacuum leaks.

I use gaskets made from MP-15 material. On the same set last 6 years. Q16 even, doesn't care. I bought a set for a racing buddy on M1, so far, so good.

Maybe use a carb you can adjust without pulling off every run. Why the hell are you people routinely pulling carbs to the point of ruining gaskets? Seriously, I have been alive long enough to deal with every kind of carb and FI, and the gaskets were the least of my concerns.

I remember you could do ANYTHING on a Holley while mounted. Jet changes especially.
Maybe guys are changing out whole carbs for a different setup..

On my old combo SBC with a HEI, rear bowl was always a pain at the track doing jet swaps. LOTS more room now without the HEI.

But not looking for every .001 any more.
I may swap jets once in a while, but now I just plug in the laptop, make a timing change or three IF I fell the need.

Yeah I can see where HEI would get in the way of that back bowl. Enough to make you switch to a Carter... NOT!! lol
