The Norton Tech Digest says the early 850s deleted the base gasket and the later ones reverted back to using it. Current thinking?
Any idea why this was deleted on the 73s only?

L.A.B. said:Fitting a base gasket reduces the compression by around half a ratio I believe, so that could help to give the 850 MkIII's starter motor (and especially the sprag clutch) a slightly easier time? I've always had a base gasket on my MkIII and it's never leaked.
