On removing a throttle control valve, I didn't replace the gasket. Would I be wrong in appling a smeer of copper ease around the gasket on re-application? I torqued the bolts correctly. Also, can WD40 be used as an alternative to carb spray in cleaning out the valve, or may this cause more problems? Thanks guys again. Greg

I wouldnt use grease. Either a very light smear of instant gasket or make a new gasket from gaskt paper.

WD40 won't do anything to clean it out, get some carb cleaner. As above don't use grease, get something like hylomar blue.

Don't use grease use something like this
