That little o ring is easy to lose.
Also, you don't have to put the carbs back onto the bike to fill them full of fuel. No reason why you can't just put fuel in them off the bike. Just keep them away from open flames and dispose of properly.
Well I pulled the carbs again last night and inspected the accelerator pump. Didnt appear to have any pin holes and didnt appear to be too worn. Alot of fuel all over the place though because of removing the carbs so it was hard to see exactly where its coming from. I tightened down all the screws on everything, bowls, and pump and I manually moved the throttle linkage, could still hear the spurting sound but couldnt really tell if it was still leaking or not. Im guessing Im gonna have to put them back on, let the bowls fill up and move the throttle linkage again. Im probably going to just replace the pump diaphram while I already have them off though, save me the trouble later. As for the little o ring on the number two bowl, Johnny I think you might have just hit upon the one that I havent replaced! If you could maybe show me a pic of which one you are talking about I can check it while I have the carbs off! Thanks again for all the replies and advice!
