If you wanted to try to making your own gaskets, this video by AOMCI member Tubs has lots of tips that I have found helpful:

I also thought of a supplementary tidbit I’d like to share as well, though this won’t drastically affect the running of an outboard. In the ignition system, there should be a little piece of felt that rubs on the points cam. Oiling the piece of felt and making sure it touches the cam lubricates the part of the points assembly that will rub on the cam as the motor runs.
