Problem fitting manifold over exhaust gasket

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've just installed my new engine (Go .28 3 port) and exhaust connection is metal, so has a rubber gasket on it. I've bought, tried, and failed with 2 manifolds so far (18mm) as they seem to be too big to slot over the metal, as was expected, but also too tigh to slot over with the gasket attached. I just keep ripping them.

I've tried lubing with a little bit of oil, every conceivable angle, even dremelling a little off the edges to try to ease it on. But no joy

I'm currently using electricians tape wrapped around to create something like a seal, but this is obviously far from ideal.

Any ideas?

Thanks muchly

James

And the second

Hi chaps. Upon installing my new engine;

the LSN is at such an angle, that it is completely obscured by the exhaust. Surely this is going to make any kind of tuning extremely difficult to say the least?

PS. Also, there's no idle screw? Unless i'm going crazy

And a pic

From the pic you posted , the idle screw is the one you have marked as the low speed needle. the low speed needle is where you hook the linkage on to the carb.

As far as the pipe question, to run that old school style of set-up you will have to keep trying different gaskets until you find the right one. OR you could buy a one piece pipe set-up.
