Ever try to reassemble the carbs only to find the seals don't fit in the grooves and are larger? Happened to me last night when I got some cheap carb cleaner containing acetone on the seals. Diaphragm and bowl gasket swelled up and would not fit in their grooves on reassembly.
The solution?
Preheat your oven to 175-200degF. Put your seals on a sheet of tinfoil folded in half, do NOT place the seals on the hot oven grille. Leave them in for 5 minutes. They will not melt, but when they're done -- the solvent will have evaporated, and the seals will have shrunken back to their original size!
Hope that saves you guys a bit of coin
