The float bowl cover never had, nor needed, a gasket. What’s to leak, with that big hole that the float pin sticks out of, anyway? The throttle valve never had a gasket, either. The main adjustment/primer needle gets moved so often that the original packing was made of leather for durability. I make my own from an old leather belt and leather punch. I tried o-rings and they are too sticky, hard to move.
