I've cleaned up all the surfaces, including those of the insulator. I think the insulator has some self sealing action, but should I use some silicone to seal the insulator to the intake and the carb base to the insulator? I don't want any intake leaks! Thanks, Andy Real fun takes hard work. '83 Short bed, NV4500, 33" BFG MT Re: Using Silicone to Seal Carb to Intake, 22R?

It will certainly help stop any possible vacume leaks. I put my carb on once with only a gasket and no rtv and it was vacume leak central. Had to take it off and do it all over again.
