I pulled my carbs apart and fount my Front Carb Float was filled with gasoline. My diaphrams look good and so do my gaskets, but I'm wondering if I should put something on them to keep them in nice condition, or do I leave them alone?
Is it bad if I leave them open to the air while a wait for my new floats to come in, or should I put the covers back on.

Thanks.

Really you should get new diaphrams and gaskets. They could leak after putting them to gether and installing them. If your is still original equiped then the carbs are a pain to take out and install. It could keep you from doing this all over again in a very short time. Otherwise the seals should be okey if it is only a short time, befor installation.

I use Pantene Conditioner.... But don't use nothing on the carb rubber.

Nice one KM...lol

I'm still waiting for my new floats...Ronayers.com takes a while to ship stuff, but their pricing is good.

I also removed the air box, so getting the carbs in and out is much easier now.

So you had "sinks" huh? I got lucky and got away with just cleaning them. Hope they come fast for you. Gonna re-jet them too?

Yeah, I did an ear shave during this whole process too, so I'm re-jetting and then need to figure out how to synch the carbs. I've seen some self-made manometer threads, and it looks fairly simple.
