Wouldn't you have been time (and money) ahead, by replacing the carb gaskets, the first time you removed the carb? After all how much could the three (?) gaskets cost, versus the additional time spent removing and reinstalling the carburetor? It feels like saving a nickel costs another hour (or more) of labor.......
Thanks for the video. You don't have to smell gas all day long you just take baking soda and water with you when you are going to work on a lawn mower and the baking soda will neutralize that gas.
Do you know how to remove the Ethanol from the gas as in the gasoline fuels out now. 5 or 10 gallons of gasoline can be treated with one 1/2 of cup of water yes I said water. And A clear one gallon jug.,or you can make A 10 gallon kerosene plastic clear container. And then just Add in A drain petcock valve. For opening and closing to help with removal of the water and ethanol fuel. From out of the bottom of the jug. Kinda like the moonshine saying just it's gasoline fuel instead of moonshine. I wish it was moonshine along with the work of adding in the water and shaking it up really good. And having to wait two days to drain out the water and ethanol jelly fuel out of the bottom of the jug. Then you just add in some octane booster I use gum out brand myself and some marvel mystery oil as A kick. And shake it we'll afterwards of the other processes is done. I highly recommend using A metal squeeze Jerry can like the military style cause of the pressure afterwards from the octane peak punch.
