I have had carb issues for a long time. Dirt Digger helped a lot by having me change my float level, because of fouled plugs. So this time , as i said I cleaned carbs, replaced couple float valve that the little spring in float was not working. I don’t think that would have been an issue, but wanted all to be the same. Put carbs back on with new boots front and back. That made installation much easier. Turned on gas, it started right up and then i saw to carbs leaking. The bowl gaskets were not sealing. So i installed new, but my question is, why did the gas overflow out the bowl gaskets. Should’nt the floats have turned off the gas before it got to that level?
I was wondering if the floats themselves go bad after lol these years. They are original. They are the old, material, kinda like a cork, but not. They seemed fine though.
Maybe because it was about a month between the time i cleaned them and filled them, the valves needed to be exercised first.
This morning i am going out to turn on gas again to see what happens, with new gaskets and after i exercised float valve by hand when i had bowls off. Thanks
