Tillotson Carburetor

They can leak air at the flange where it bolts to the intake as well. Sort of gets a bow in the surface between the two bolts.

Have been running a Tillotson for years. Very happy with it.

Recently Read this post. This information fixed my badly warped Tilly. But I will leave a hose clamp on the warped body until I can get some others to build. It looks silly but its going to hold me over. I sanded, filed, and scraped before trying the oven wish I could start over

I have never dealt with a Tillotson but Marvel Schebler Carburetors are also made of zinc and have the same warpage issue.

I flatten the halves using the methods others have suggested and cut my own gaskets from 1/32" cork/Buna-N. The cork/Bun-N is softer than the paper gaskets you get in the kits and conforms to any irregularities. Ensure you don't over tighten the screws!

Gasket for Marvel-Schebler
