80cc Gaskets

Hey there guys,

I'm pretty sure I have a vacuum leak somewhere in my 80cc 2-stroke engine. I have a Dax RT carb installed and am only getting around 20 mph. When running the engine sounds like my grandmother jogging. Just little pffts everytime it cycles.

So I think to fix this I should disassemble the engine and replace all of the gaskets. So I have a few questions.

Is there a place I can buy a complete gasket set for my engine?

Any tips or tricks I should know before attempting this?

Do you guys concur that a small air leak is what is causing my problems?

Thanks

Awesome thanks for all the replies. Al I downloaded your checklst and am going to review it more closely tonight when I gt home tonight. Thanks a lot, a large part of those modifications would be great to do while I have the engine apart.

Rich I don't think it has to do with the RT carb. Although I may have a small air leak in it the problem I am referring to has been happening since a few weeks before I changed out the stock NT carb. I didn't really notice it at first until I noticed some black leaking down from the engine. At that point I slowly began losing torque and top speed over a couple weeks. It was then that I installed the RT carb (I know I know, I should have fixed the problem before adding a mod)

Thanks Rohmell that was exactly what I was looking for! I just purchased a set. Later on I will just buy gasket material and make my own but for this time I am going to trace the ones that come in for future reference.
