. Complete description of the product (H1: Liège gasket for carburetor cover Tillotson)
This Replacement cork is a piece of essential wear to ensure absolute sealing of the elbow or top cover of your membrane carburetor Tillotson. Made of high quality cork, it is specially treated to withstand prolonged contact with gasoline and competitive additives.
A cork seal in perfect condition prevents parasitic air intakes at the carburetor pump circuit. These air intakes are the number one enemy of karting carburation because they deplete the mixture and can cause high speed motor tasks.
- 3. Tip in Michel (the corner of the expert)
* "Hi guys! The cork joint on the Tillotson, it's a classic, but it must be handled it with love.
My absolute trick: at the time of assembly, Never go up completely to dry. Moisten it very slightly with a drop of gasoline or clean engine oil before placing it. It will soften it and allow it to be well callets in its footprint without risking to crack when you go screwing the lid.
And watch out for the tightening of the small screws of the lid! If you tighten like a deaf, you will crush the cork, split it, and you will have a direct air intake. We squeeze, wisely, just to compress the material. "*

❓ 5. FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q: How often does the cork joint of his tillotson be replaced?
A: It is recommended that you replace this seal each time you open the lid of your carburetor to inspect the membranes (every 5 to 10 hours of approximately rolling). Once crushed and dried with gasoline, cork loses its elastic properties and tolerate the reassembly very poorly.
Q: Can I mount a size seal 16 on an X30 carburettor (size 18)?
A: No, the diameter and the centerpiece of the lid are not the same. A sized seal 16 will float or will not cover the seal plane of an X30 carburettor, causing an immediate fuel leak and a massive air intake. Use the version adapted to your engine.
Q: Why use cork rather than classic seal paper?
A: Liège has excellent shape memory capacity and a crushing tolerance much greater than paper on the molded aluminum surfaces of Tillotson carburetors. It is the historical and official material advocated by the mark to ensure the tightness of this circuit.
