154 Cub lo-Boy carb leaks

[John in Ct]

My 154 Cub Lo-Boy carb leaks after rebuilding with an IH kit. I have read Lurker Carl's carb leaking fix. I think the IH gaskets are too hard and won't compress unless I tighten stuff too tight and I don't want to strip the threads. For a sealant for the nozzle and needle cage, I am going to try Permetex 59214, Napa # 765-2648. Does everyone use the Kohler Cage and needle Lurker Carl talks about or just uses the IH one. Any advise? Thanks!!

Use the IH one.
