Saddle_Bag Posted November 30, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2007 Help!! I have an 84 Standard. I was having problems with the gas gauge , It would read full and I"d drive 30 miles and I would have less than 1/2 tank. The mechanic I go to told me it was the sending unit in the tank. I pulled it out and used a new gasket to seal it up. Wrong leaked. Took it apart and tried again. Leaked. Stopped by the local shop, Yamaha #4. Leaks. Hand cut a cork material. Leaks! Any thoughts on what will seal this up???Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffinman Posted November 30, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2007 Try coating both sides of the gasket with petrolium jelly.That is how we do aircraft fuel gaskets. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrood Posted November 30, 2007 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2007 You can also use Yamabond #4 on both sides of the gasket. It make a pliable, gas resistant seal. I also used a THIN coat on a couple carb diaphragms... worked great so far. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
