[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 304512, member: 3278"] Rule number 1 - Never repair anything on an outboard with RTV. Shadetree at best. Rule number 2 - When in doubt....refer to Rule number one. You have made a conflicting statement regarding your engine. Your first statement indicates it ran well and normal RPM but then you contradicted your own statement and said the boat will not plane....which is it? Try and be more specific and we will be able to help you better. If the gasket the previous post was referring is the gasket surrounding the high speed nozzle (and its missing) the engine will fall on its face when you try and accelerate. You will need a complete kit to get that gasket.....do it right and do it once! RTV anywhere on an outboard is bad enough. RTV inside a fuel bowl would break up in a heartbeat and plug up the high speed jet in a nano second! [/QUOTE]
