A gasket is a phrase that refers to any seal or grommet that connects two objects. Rubber, plastic, metal, and other materials can be used to manufacture gaskets. The type of material you use depends on why you need a gasket. But, as you'll see, gaskets are more than just a leak-proof seal. The carb-to-manifold gasket is probably the second-largest possible air leak in a carbureted engine, after the manifold gasket. The carb gasket is responsible for maintaining the fine line between where air should and shouldn't be; a failure here can ruin your engine's day. A carburetor works by drawing gasoline through the carburetor's metering jets and injecting it at the maximum point of vacuum and airflow to precisely blend it with the air. A leaking carburetor gasket won't let fuel out, but it will let air in where the vacuum signal is most important.
