Carburetor Base Gasket (Weber 28/30 DHTA)

[ryansmith]

I'm having trouble finding the right base gasket for my Weber 28/30 DHTA carb. The only listing I could find was sold out:

Carburetor Base Gasket - Upper - Weber 28/30 DHTA - NEW

MWB has another listing for Weber carb base gaskets, but it just has a large oval hole instead of the two circular holes. Would this be an okay replacement, or should I cut one out of cork instead?

Check with Pierce Manifolds to see what they have in stock for the DHTA. This item says it is the base gasket, but there is no picture. If you don't need emissions testing, have you considered a better carb? The 28/30 DHTA was the most emissions cluttered and weak carb offered on the X.

Just an FYI, the MWB descriptions tell the story. The 2 hole gasket is for above the bakelite plate, the large oval gasket is for below the plate. It says the large oval can be used above the plate if necessary.

ChrisO has the full DHTA kit.
