Kawasaki 340 gasket set

Post by Starlite »

Is there two kind of intakes for the 340 engine?
I have a 81 kawasaki and ordered a winderosa gasket set.
All gaskets fits except for the intake gaskets.
My intake have square looking gaskets but the one in the sets was more rounded.

This is what i have

There's been some issues with Trailfire kits having the wrong intake gaskets. I will send you a set of the right ones.

I see, i bought them from mfg supply.
Have mailed them and they think i dont have the original engine.
My brother have a spitfire and his engine use the rounded gaskets.
Did the 340 fc engine used the rounded gaskets in aerlier engines?

Ahh ok. I think the Winderosa kit is just wrong for the 340 Trailfire. I'm not sure if there was a mid-production change or not. I have a 340 Trailfire cylinder sitting here that has the square style intake.
