D17 Series IV (according to serial) See two images below. My carburetor leaks. Would it be reasonable to expect I might fix this with new gaskets?   ------------- D17 Series III |

the seat for the INLET VALVE might be cut and causing carb to overflow... YEs, new gaskets, new shut off seat ( or lapping old) , and reset the float level will fix the leak. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Good catch Dr... I didnt even look at the name on the KIT.. you can get a BASIC kit with gaskets and seals... or you can get a KIT that includes new shafts and valves ......... check if your throttle shaft wobbles in the bore.
