Motorcycle Repair: 1983 FXRS Harley, gasket, ahold


Question
I am trying to stop a leak at the primary but I replaced the gasket and the leak got worse. I am wondering one if you can come up with an idea that I haven't tried to stop the leak. And I was also wondering if there is a way that you would know of to get ahold of a cork gasket, when I have that gasket this did not happen.

Answer
When you install the gasket, make sure the surfaces are clean. You can put some gasket sealer on the gasket or the surfaces, which will  probably help. When tightening the bolts do one from the front and one from the rear, then top to bottom.
I dont know of anyone who makes cork gaskets anymore for primaries
Good luck and happy riding
