I would have to use exactly the same thickness. Thickness does matter
sometimes in carburators.
Silicone won't work.
You can use brown paper, like a paper bag or a file folder. Tons of
paper out there in many different thicknesses. Use a micrometer and
get a close as possible.

I have some 1/16 cork gasket sheets at home. I am needing the carb to
gas tank and carb to engine gaskets. Can I just make some out of this
material or will it not work because it is a little thicker than the
origional? Or should I use RTV instead of silicone?

I appreciate any help. I have 2 tillers I am tryign to get running so
I can put them up for spring.

Proper gasket felt of the original thickness can be purchaced at any
GOOD auto parts store.
