My Oko carbs rubber gasket got gasoline soaked and is now swollen and oversized
. Any idea how long it takes to return to normal size? It's sitting outside in the sun right now. Hours? Days? Weeks?

If it stays swollen more than 4 hours, see a mechanic, it could be serious.
Someone had rubber gasket problems after a carb cleaner soak. It returned to normal after a while. Wonder if your gas had some additives?

I did that once. I let it sit overnight and by morning it was back to original size.
