 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.
