Hi
I am restoring a 1964 Victa Corvette 160cc Mark 1 70 series 2 stroke engine number 96801690. I just noticed in an other tread picture that the head gasket is paper and not metal, mine is the same and I thought that someone in the past made a mistake hence all the oil that is blowing on the cooling fins.
Now I am confused should it be paper gasket or should I replace it with multi foil gasket sheet that I have to cut it out?
Also the the priming pump with the little spring that look like it is from a pen needs an o ring, mine is out of shape and sit between the spring and the washer at the base, I put it under the washer but it doesn't grip the pin, so I'm guessing fuel will leak. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Rich
