This makes the 4th time I've had to make a new one.
There is "something" in the gasoline now, or I have a sheet of the wrong type of cork.
Either way I'm tired of having to make a new gasket every other time I go to use this thing.

I had the same problem would turn gas off because carb would drip once in a while and the cork gasket would dry out and shrink. Bought a rubber gasket from IH and it has worked fine. cost was less than $5.00

I had some punched out of a type of a"rubber" (cannot remember the name right now) by a shop and have a bunch of them. PM me and I should be able to help you out.

Once the cork gasket has been wetted, and then dried, it shrinks. When rewetted, it may or may not seal properly.
Luck favors those who are prepared
