re- Sunday ride

[Dave Daniels]

You should be able to reuse those gaskets as long as they are not shrunk to the point of being below the metal surface and/or they aren't dry-rotted.

  Jim, It could be too late, I didn't plan on laying it up and it hasn't

been idling smoothly for over a year, so I'm gonna have to clean the
carb's 
in the Spring.. Not to sure if there are other issues but they need cleaning 
first.
   I did put some Techron in the gas a few weeks  back, and theres probably 
some still in the gas albeit in diluted form.
   So can you normally re- use the float bowl gaskets?

 Pete
