Problem one, can't find Jet Block Gaskets.  

It's really going to be a problem that Sudco is gone. Not good.

How about these?

Yeah, there are some jet block gaskets out there that look homemade.  Kinda expensive.  I ordered a sheet of thin gasket paper.  The original gaskets are .005" thick.  Some thin paper would likely work as well.  In the past I made some out of thick velum drawing paper, after testing it in gasoline for a couple of days.

127.5/25 jets ordered from Niche

O-ring/gasket kit ordered from Joe's Carb.

Also, have gasket paper on order, as an experiment.

Thanks to all that contributed.

BTW, my house stinks like Berryman's carb dip.  ARG!!!  After dipping the carbs, rinsing in a bucket of water, soaking for an hour, I bought the bucket inside and did the final soap scrub in the kitchen sink.  MISTAKE!!  Just the random rinse off, after a soap scrub, stunk up my whole house!  Ha ha.  Good thing I'm a bachelor, or maybe I'm a bachelor because of crap like this?  Ha ha.

I am pretty sure I have a small roll of velum left over from my days on the board, even had a board here at the house for about 10 years before finally selling it when they were still in demand. The last time I saw a board was at Reproduction Decals office, he still does decal patterns at scale by hand.

As for the gas mileage on that particular type of engine, you maybe be around 30 MPG or lower. I know when I was running a big pilot jet on my 831cc engine with 33 flat slides it was horrible like that, at least 20 MPG down from stock.
