<p>Slone,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When I restored my 72 I decided to go with the Hitachi carbs
since I had zero experience with Stroms. Well I am in my 13th year
and no leaks, drips or errors. Runs like a top. Cant remember who
supplied the carbs but I exchanged my Stroms for a discount. <br>
</p>
<p>Through the years I have had real good luck with my H6s on the 3,
HS6s on the 4 and the Hitachi on the 6. <br>
</p>
<p>Every once in awhile I have to add some transmission fluif to the
dampers but that is it. <br>

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, 2<span class="elementToProof"><sup>nd</sup> 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, 3<span class="elementToProof"><sup>rd</sup> 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. </span></span></div>
