No More Gas Leak

This morning was the last attempt to cure my persistent carburator problems. I've been having a real problem with gas leaking out of the float bowl for the last few months. So I replaced the float bowl gasket (HD Part# 27577-92), an o-ring in the accelerator pump (HD Part# 27360-76), and the fuel inlet valve (HD Part# 27886-78A) this morning. After buttoning up everything, I fired it up, got the idle speed set right once it was warmed back up, and took it for a good long putt. The end result is that there's no more fuel leaking out of the carb. It's finally fixed so now I can get back on two wheels and start saving some money on gas again!
