This is one part that is very subject to corrosion and leaks around the base. When the actual part fails, included our new stainless bolts that won't corrode with instructions on how to carefully get the old corroded bolts out. You get a gasket for the air valve and that free gasket for the cold start injector, which is prone to leaking. A small container of aviation-grade permit tech sealant is included for the two paper gaskets. Kent recommends cleaning with a Scotch-Brite pad, but this is not concluded.
