So just laughing at myself and like to share. Here's how to "maximize" your=
 shipping cost on a small project. Backed the Six out a couple weeks ago af=
ter my yearly oil change. Looked under, no oil leaking, but damn. Both carb=
s are leaking. I've been thinking those O-rings probably needed replacing s=
oon anyway. So a quick order to MOSS for 2 O-rings. Why did I think I could=
 get off those float bowls and not need float bowl gaskets? So, oh well, 2n=
d order to Moss for two float bowl gaskets. Got it all back together with n=
o problem. Left the breather off so I could see the bowls better upon start=
up, backed it out. Looks good - no leaks. However, hmmm, looks like the rea=
r carb air valve isn't moving up and down. So, 3rd Moss order for 1 diaphra=
gm. Man that thing will scoot with 2 working carbs. I must have gotten a cr=
ack in that diaphragm sometime a year or two ago.

Happy Motoring,
Sloane
69 Six
