camoit, when you say a thin flim on the gasket to save it from sticking to metal, do you mean a thin flim all over the gasket or just in certain area's ?
I end up taking the carburetor apart to check the float and the pin. Everything looks okay to me, so now im thinking i shd just run double gasket since there's two gasket that came in the rebuild kit. what do you think, either that or im going put on a thin flim of permatex gray on the gasket around the float to try to stop the leak.

abeemanator, I will keep an eye on a webber if i ever go to the junkyard. For now i will have to try to eliminate every little problem that this mikuni carburetor throws at me. I'm not doing so good, i tell you that. I tried to do some adjustments on the electric choke and got confuse on how to set the cam follower to adjust ? I'm thinking i have to have it in the truck and running to adjust the idle. So i put a double gasket on the carburetor top bowl piece and while tighting the 12mm bolts down i snap one clean off. Damn! So now i have to run to the store and look for a extractor that will take this broke piece out. 2012-04-18 10.06.05.jpg 2012-04-18 10.06.15.jpg 2012-04-18 10.57.49.jpg 2012-04-18 10.58.16.jpg 2012-04-18 10.58.26.jpg 2012-04-18 10.58.39.jpg2012-04-18 11.00.43.jpg 2012-04-18 11.00.56.jpg 2012-04-18 11.01.16.jpg 2012-04-18 12.38.06.jpg 2012-04-18 12.38.25.jpg
