Looking for cheap gaskets for MTD MorePower Chinese Engines

When ever I open a cab on a Chinese Morepower engines. I need a new bowl Gasket. I see that the gaskets are sold for $7.99 each on ebay that price is crazy. Do you guys know where I can buy gaskets that will fit these cheap junk carbs. I am wondering if the Honda gaskets will fit. Thanks for your feed-back

I keen some gaskets are simple and can be easily cut out of gasket paper and an exacting knife. I am not sure about which your talking about so I don't know

Almost 50% of the snowblowers have the Chinese engines If I turn them away that will be 50% of my business gone.

No possible to make my own they are round with a 5-inch hole and rubber is a very thin circle. Look at a Honda bowl gasket but just a bit larger.

I feel your hurt. I find parts are out of site but some times you just have to bit the bullet and pay them outlandish prices. This sounds like one of them times. The problem with buying the Honda gasket if it doesn't fit you have just bought a useless gasket for the trash can. Hope you some better luck finding a cheaper gasket.
