[QUOTE="LureheadEd, post: 243955, member: 1079"] I've got a '78 Johnson rope start that I'm changing over this weekend to electric start, no charging stuff... The way I see it, all I need is the starter switch and wiring, the flywheel, the starter, and the bypass cover with starter mounting brackets...I've got 'em all... My problem is the gasket for the cover, I've never done a gasket... So I cleaned the old gasket material off of the cover today and went and bought some gasket material and cut a new one...But I don't know if it's the right material, it's a thin brown paper looking tan fiber stock (not the thicker cork or the gray fiber stuff) from Fel-Pro Gaskets... Say's it's for sealing oil, coolant, and gasoline...Did I get the right stuff ??? And what gasket sealant do I use ??? I'll try to post some pics....THANKS in advance for any input... [/QUOTE]
