Choke gasket?
The shop manual refers to the auto choke chamber on the right exhaust manifold having a gasket. However, I've only seen some type of depleted paper/cardboard backing on the plate/cover. Is there an actual gasket for the heat chamber? If there is, what is it called or where can you purchase one?
Thanks

I just got a complete gasket set and there's no mention of it anywhere. What type of "repair kit" are you referring to? Exhaust manifold repair kit? Could you point me to where I could find said repair kit?
thanks

Joe: Bowserhound referred to the choke chamber on the exhaust manifold. That gasket is asbestos and can easily be fabricated. I have no idea where you would find a ready made one.

Thanks guys, I called around today to some Bird shops and the consensus is to make one out of scrap gasket materials. Asbestos sounds about right, it's definitely not cork!

Whoops, my mistake. But you might try The Thunderbird Ranch, he has a lot of hard to get stuff.

Called them and the guy said that they don't sell it or really knew what it was.

Well bowserhound, like Harley says you may have to fabricate one.
