    Thanks Fleetwin!

    The one seal that’s been on my mind is the one under the float valve seat…

    This boat hardly ever gets used, but I’m hoping this “new” motor will change that in the future.

    I noticed that a previous owner put some kind of clear sealant, with the texture of Marine Goop, over the little brass carb bowl drain screw.

    I don’t know if the threads leaked. If it leaks, I guess I’ll chase the threads.

    Do you know if a thread sealant is called for on the drain screw?
