 ===== Fuel and breather pipes placement =====
-In the following photos you can see how the fuel line and the breather tube are positioned around the carburetors (the lower end of the breather pipe should be inserted into the binder, together with the fuel pipe).

 It seems that also the Keyster kit **K-976EK** is compatibile with the NTV650 Revere, it contains fewer parts, but it contains the same rubber parts as the **KH-1348** kit, plus the oval O-ring of the air cut-off valve. Another kit from Keyster is the **K139** (also labeled **NTMOR-007G**), which includes only the float chamber gasket.
+===== Do not use red paste gasket sealant! =====
+I once installed a float chamber gasket whose size I didn't trust, so I added some **red gasket sealant**, by **Würth**. The result was disastrous: after less than a year and about 2000 km, the red paste dissolved in the fuel and formed a sludge in the carburetor float chamber. Naturally, the bike began to have idle problems and backfiring. Cleaning the inside of the carburetor was a pain, luckily **nitro thinner** seems to dissolve this red sludge.
