garelli with 21mm phbg, polini 70cc kit. i got it to start today for the first time with new kit, carb and exhaust and it idles like whoa. i read a whole crap load of posts here and im thinking its prob an air leak. i think i may have bent the metal "gasket" between the head and the jug. Im going to check it all tomorrow and tighten everything up. i was wondering if that metal gasket could be replaced with a regular rubber gasket or does it need to be that same metal ring. thanks, ben

Re: Idols Fast, Air Leak?
rubber won't stand up to the temperatures of combustion for very long. get the correct head gasket if you're gonna use one. or cut one from a beer can or soda can. I don't use them on my bikes, but I take the time to sand the mating surfaces perfectly flat. no head gaskets = no blown or leaky head gaskets.
Re: Idols Fast, Air Leak?
just take it out i dont run head gaskets
