Maintenance of Failed Fuel Float

After turning the full on in prep for a ride, the starboard Bing carburetor started spilling fuel on the ground. After some dissection it turns out that the brass float assembly failed with several very fie stress cracks. I was away at the time so I attempted to dry the float out to get the bike running again. Its work for a short period but ultimately needed replacement Completed an oil change and replaced both port and starboard aux float assemblies and seals. While on-line - of course I had to buy other parts! Comboguy: Wide Seat Cover /2 The Bolt Guy: Stainless Bolt Hardware Kit Ordered Air Filter and Battery Pad. Wax and Chrome Polish ($290)
