LD340 Can’t Get The Carb Base To Seal

i've been using a stacked up gasket then thin alum plate , and repeat a few times . this keeps the heat off the carb and seals well . View attachment 1715592098


I tried that approach in the past where you sandwich thin aluminum plates with thin gaskets...

I ended up cracking one of the bolt holes off the base.... Too much play when you stack them and it allows the base to deform until it breaks....
