Gsskets from Moss for the tops of the float chambers were just a bit small to go on. I mean they would not go on.

Set down in front of TV with a peice of rather fine sand paper and actually sanded the insides just a bit larger.

Fit now.

Jack, I though your carbs were fairly new and in good shape. Why did your gaskets need replacing?

. . . wondering if I need to check my carb/float gaskets . . . :rolleyes:

Aye Ethanol Crud. It really ate up the rubber gaskets especialy.

Well, and I got to mess with something. Float valves were nice and clean though. No corn oil works great.
