I'm in the process of cleaning/rebuilding the carbs on my 82 Heritage Special. Considering that it only has around 9K original miles I'm pretty sure this is the first rebuild this bike has seen. While removing the carbs I noticed there was no sign of a gasket between the manifold and cylinder head. Common sense tells me that there should be one but I am a noob and not sure. Could it have disintegrated over time? If so, I should have had a serious gas leak! Thanks in advance.
