Top Plate Gasket, for 38 Egas DGV Carb, Pair

EMPI Top Plate Gaskets for 38 EGAS DGV Carburetors - Pair

Ensure a Leak-Free Seal

When it is time to service your Weber or EMPI 38 EGAS (DGV) carburetor, having a fresh set of top plate gaskets is vital. These high-quality gaskets ensure that the connection between the air horn and the carburetor body remains airtight and leak-proof. They are mandatory replacements whenever you remove the top plate to check your floats or replace the needle and seat assembly.

VW Fitment and Compatibility

This pair of gaskets (Part #00-3248-0) is designed specifically for the 38 EGAS and DGV series carburetors. These are popular choices for VW Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 engines looking for improved performance over stock setups. Always verify your carburetor model before installation to ensure a perfect match for your aircooled Volkswagen.

Pro Tech Tips

Clean Surface Preparation: Before installing the new gasket, use a plastic scraper or solvent to remove every trace of the old gasket material from both the carburetor body and the top plate. Any residue can cause a poor seal and lead to air leaks.

Avoid Over-Tightening: When reinstalling the top plate screws, tighten them in a crisscross pattern to even out the pressure. Do not over-torque them, as this can warp the top plate and cause permanent sealing issues.

Verify Float Levels: Since the top plate is already removed, this is the perfect time to check your float height and drop. Ensuring these measurements meet factory specifications will prevent flooding or fuel starvation during spirited driving.
