trimacar Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think I used copper crush washers....and maybe a dab of sealant (Gasoila or the like) on the threads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good idea. I might also try a thicker gasket where it joins the engine.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1910Hupp Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I used red fibre gaskets and some silicon goop on the threads. Seemed to work well. I grounded the magneto switch to one of the engine transmission bolts . Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Minerva Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 G'day Phil,I had the same problem and a friend put me on to a product called Stag Jointing Paste. Just smear on the threads and the side of the nut that faces inwards. You can undo the nut again quite easily.Info here: http://www.kommerlinguk.com/pdf/stag-jointing-compounds.pdfCheers,Andrew.

MochetVelo Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 I don't see Stag available in the USA, but looks like a useful product.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
