In reasembling the usual 2 stroke, in this case, Zenoha 38, my usual supply of petrol proof sealant has dried up, whats everyone using these days? I favour Yamabond, but the price is mental! And my old fairhfull locktite 518 is worse! What do you guys use? I know its a dry joint, but evwry little helps, ta much

Hi Alan, I always use Black RTV sealant, it is a kind of silicone but resists petrol etc. I comes in a toothpaste size tube and I got mine from a motor factors.

Hi Alan
When I used to do the mowers I use to use blue Hylomar gasket sealant worked well cheap to use too.
How did the soap work on the 'dirty model' I'd it work - is she clean now??
Cheers
