Is This The Problem?

[smithy692005]

Hi all,

managed to remove carbs tonight-eventually-man that is a tricky and frustrating thing to do!

when i removed them, i found the gasket (on the side that keeps fouling plug) in this condition-see pic

i have now stripped and cleaned carbs out-going to order new gakets in the morning.
would it be the gasket that has caused my bogging down when accelerating and cloggiing/fouling of plugs?

i also took out the rave valve (from the damged gasket. fouled plug side) and it was clogged up-so i have now stripped and cleaned that too-will do other one tomorrow.

is it advisable to spray carb cleaner into where the rave valve goes back?

thanks

yes for the bogging. it was make that jug run leaner than the other.

i do. i also take a blue shop towel on a screw driver and clean the slides (sides) of the rave opening.
