plastic collar CNS carburetor

I wrote a longish thread about my trials and tribulations with my cns carb, including making a spacer to replace one that fell apart almost immediately. Scroll down the following thread until you see the post titled "CNS Carb Spacer", there you will see details about how I made my replacement...

Hey man, none of what you just said sounds like a good idea to me, you dont want to JB Weld your carb to your intake! Did you look down inside the neck of your carb, is the original black rubber seal inside there??? If not, look around, in the kit box, where you unpacked it, or built the bike for it. If you dont find it then just order a CNS carb rebuild kit for $14 bucks or whatever and it will come with a new seal, new spacer, and a replacement for just about every other part in your carb. I have never needed any kind of sealer on my carb, the rubber spacer works fine if you get it seated on the intake properly. If and when you find the seal, pull it out, place it on the end of the intake tube so you can see how it is form fit to go over the intake, then put it back in the carb and make sure the intake seats inside the seal like that when the carb is mounted...
