Oof 😣😅 pk100 motor with carb felt gasket disappeared , it still runs perfectly fine before I noticed this, is it ok ? Id presume the crank shredded it up and burnt it off. Does this require dismantling?

The good thing about felt gaskets is that they can indeed be consumed by the engine without damage. You have to remind your engine not to do it again though since eating a lot of them might cause carbon buildup and constipation.

He is being a bit naughty after spoiling him with new cranks and complete overhaul. Sometimes he bites more than he chews.
