Jim, not disputing your answer but something has always bothered me about the way as you stated "flat washer then star washer and nut. I know I have read that almost in every assy manual and I think it is even in the 43.13. Just looking at it from my machinist standpoint, if a flat washer is used, it negates the working of the star/lock washer. The star/lock washer should be against the body and the nut will lock down on it and it will not loosen, with the flat washer, the nut can loosen because the flat washer can turn on the body ...ok, I'm off my soap box......senile brain went to work for a moment....

I have a question pertaining to the install of the carb onto both intake manifold and the air box? I'm assuming a gasket is used? Is there a gasket on both surfaces? Should any gasket sealant be used in addition, if so which type? Also what is an approx torque setting for the carb bolts on a ma3spa carb? Thank you all, greg
