Even with the blue gaskets, i have had issues with leaking when in long storage, like 8 or more months without running the engine. Leak for a short time then they are fine.

The green accelerator pumps. They are for alcohol and hold up better. Non stick gaskets usually come in blue or red. Someone may have black. I buy the blue off Ebay. They take a lot of abuse and do not shrink like the cork. I use them on the race cars and carbs I rebuild.

If you're after original appearing gaskets, give me a shout.
