I was replacing that rubber boot between the carb and engine on my 01 banshee and thought while I was in there I might as well throw in some aftermarket reed valves but I was wondering if I should put some kind of sealent on those gaskets. Any body know? I also tore into the Carbs and cleaned them up a bit and I dont know if those gaskets are reusable or not. All replies are appreciated.

Any time you tear into something with a gasket, it is wise to replace them. Gaskets take a set over time under load and never seat exactly the same way twice. Leaks are much more likely trying to save a few dollars reusing gaskets. There is gasket lube on the market that will help seal and prevent tears upon assembly or torquing.
