More to come. First you have to secure fuel leaks. Just by taking out the fuel inlet elbow I could tell that fuel would just flow right past the old crusty o-rings. The elbow felt like it was rattling when I was putting new fuel hose on it so by simply taking out the retainer screw and pulling it could see which kind of o-rings I would need. The only o-rings that you will get to fit properly are a factory ring. They have to be right on to allow the fuel inlet to push back into the carb body.



And here we are with new o-rings and a thin coating of silicone grease.



I highly recommend silicone grease for all the rubber seals and o-rings while assembling. The carb bowl seals did leak as did the large diameter drainplug seal down on the bottom. I simply conditioned the o-rings and seals with the grease and I didn't have any more leaks when things went back together.
