LD340 Can’t Get The Carb Base To Seal

Thanks for the replies. It is an old gasket, it’s just what I had, I’ll check the carb base for flatness, I checked the intake but not the carb. I’ll also get a new gasket. The symptoms are, fast, rough idle, dies when idled down, using a vacuum hose as a nozzle and carb and choke cleaner spray, I have the leak isolated to the sides of the carb base, seems ok along the front and back.


I've used this gasket with the LD340 with success, it comes with the studs:
