    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.
