Hi guys. I have a 1993 johnson 225 oceanRunner and can anyone tell me how important the air silencer cover gasket is? This is the style seen below, and the gasket always seems to pinch at the bottom when installing with lower cowlings on. Is that an issue? I ask because it seems to me the only functional part of the cover is to cover the carbs, allowing a somewhat restricted airflow vs. with it off (obviously i've never ran it at high speed without the cover on stock jetting) OR does that outer gasket actually seal something off? seems doubly odd to me as the newer ones are completely different and way easier to pop back on as they are completely open in the rear/all around. Just want to make sure i'm not potentially running lean if that gasket gets pinched, but so far so good. I had to rebuild and do the lync n synk on the carbs a few times and getting this thing with its 14 screws off each time was a pain! The gasket in question is # 47 on the diagram below. The second diagram is the newer style. Can I swap to the newer style and not touch the carb?:
