I placed this side against the metal mating surfaces. Not sure if it matters. http://www.2wheelpros.com/o...

I replaced the two intake manifold gaskets (reed valve + intake), along with the o-ring plate between carb and intake manifold. I was thinking about going back to the OEM carb, but I have used the non-oem carbs on other scooters in the past with no issues.
