I have read the Zenith Service Bulletin for my carburettor - a 26VA : cs 548. Can someone confirm that the only gasket used is between the emulsion block and the bowl. I have a spare carb and it has a gasket for the bowl which doesn't seem right? I am reassembling this after cleaning it out as it has been standing for 12 years and I doubt the fuel was removed but left to evaporate. I would hate to get it wrong after reading all the posts about these carbs.

I dont have a gasket at the float bowl/mainbody interface, and I think this is correct. Everybody I asked agreed that there is no gasket here. The only gasket I have is the emulsion block one. I think that the service kit from Burlen fuel systems only comes with the one gasket?

Thanks Steve - that was what I thought but I was confused by the gasket on the spare which to me seemed wrong but wanted to make sure.

Hello Don,

I totally agree with Steve on this one no gasket needed to seal bowl to carb body.

Suggest you double check that the carb on which you have found such a gasket does not have a distorted body face. You should be able to check with a straight-edge.
