[6pack] Carbs (story - not a question)

[im sloane]

So just laughing at myself and like to share. Here's how to "maximize" your shipping cost on a small project. Backed the Six out a couple weeks ago after my yearly oil change. Looked under, no oil leaking, but damn. Both carbs are leaking. I've been thinking those O-rings probably needed replacing soon anyway. So a quick order to MOSS for 2 O-rings. Why did I think I could get off those float bowls and not need float bowl gaskets? So, oh well, 2nd order to Moss for two float bowl gaskets. Got it all back together with no problem. Left the breather off so I could see the bowls better upon startup, backed it out. Looks good - no leaks. However, hmmm, looks like the rear carb air valve isn't moving up and down. So, 3rd Moss order for 1 diaphragm. Man that thing will scoot with 2 working carbs. I must have gotten a crack in that diaphragm sometime a year or two ago.

Happy Motoring,
Sloane
