Sure, HS2 carbs perform better, but another nice thing about them is that they tend to leak less than their older, smaller counterparts. The original H1 carburetors employed on Bugeyes have a few more rubber parts and junctions than the later HS2s have, and can leak fuel when those rubber parts perish. Ethanol doesn’t help, and might actually accelerate leak frequency. The rubber parts we sell for these carbs are made of ethanol resistant Viton. So if you have never changed your top hat gaskets, now might be the time. These gaskets are positioned where the float bowl is connected to the carburetor, shown in the video below.
The carbs in the video shown here were hemorrhaging fuel through not only the top hat, but also through the main jet, meaning this set will need jet gaskets and washers, as well. Our H1 rebuild kit has everything you need to ensure your carburetors are potty trained! Click the photo below to order!
