im not sure how poorly the fit is, but generally you seal the carb with some gold gasket sealer. If it isn't the right carb, don't waste your dough on trying gett the wrong part to work. You probably can find a savage carb on ebay.. just do a search on ebay for savage 25 carb.. should find a good deal

well i dont know if its worth it to even try and put my carb back on because it seems that when i took the cooling heads off that the engine has been ran pretty harsh by the previous owner ... might really have to consider a rebuilt savage
