Float Bowl

Removed gas tank, air filter and filter housing to expose carburetor. Removed carburetor and disassembled cleaning all parts with carb cleaner. Scraped remainders of old gaskets off carb with chisel, and steel wool until clean. Use compressed air to blow out any remaining dirt. Installed new gaskets for intake and air cleaner and reassembled with new bowl. Replaced fuel line as well while I was in there and gas tank was off. Screws purchased were to secure gas tank (original ones were lost at some point during the tear down). As far as special instructions, just be sure gaskets are properly aligned before reassembly, and that remnants of old gaskets that were removed are completely cleaned off. Be careful not to over tighten anything, especially the bolts that secure the air filter housing.

Replaced the bowl and the gaskets. Reinstall, check for leaks and start the engine. Everything is ok!

Took off the housing and air cleaner assembly. Disconnected the fuel lines and throttle cable. Took apart the carburetor and used carb cleaner to clean out the old gas. Put the carburetor back together, and reassembled the motor.
