I have not been able to synchronize my carburetors, so I thought I would try to replace the gaskets between the intake boots and the block.

I couldn't get it to move, but the float valve itself seems to move in and out. Also, ...

The right carburator appears to have the correct vacuum about 18hg/cm, but the left carburator reads abou...
