Remember what I said about the EPA limiter caps? Adios you little buggers.
I used some cork gasket material to pad my vice jaws and heated the screws up with a heat gun. With a little tug, they slide right off. Remove the leftover glue and you're in business. When I pulled the pilot screws, I carefully dug out the spring, washer and o-ring for each. As I guessed, the o-rings were toast. Which really sucks because they're even more difficult to find and I have yet to find the factory size.
However, I went way down the rabbit-hole while writing this post last night, and I believe I've found a few sources for them. Once I have these replaced, that will be all of the seals and o-rings refreshed on these carbs.
I got the new floats swapped over yesterday, as well as cleaning up the float valves and seats. I didn't find any gunk but my eyesight ain't what it used to be.
Once the carbs are buttoned up, I can get back to farting around town with my leaky fork seals. The seal kits should be here in the next week or so, and I plan on swapping out the 2x offroad lights for my printed headlight bucket and a round LED headlight. One step at a time.
