Had to get into my gas filter to check float. Didn't replace gasket. Torqued gasket as detailed, but this was late at night. Went for a ride, filled tank, got home and smell of gas. Retorqued screws, now I'm wondering if I should replace gasket. Gasket looked good.

 

I think you are supposed to change the gasket as well as new screws.

 

Smelling gas is not a good thing .. Get a new Gasket and perhaps screws as well ..

 

You need to replace the screws also..

 

61402-02 (1) and 1311D (10)

 

I changed both out. Noticed on mine some of the screws were hard and dry looking around the seals. Almost didn't change them all, glad I did after seeing them.

 

Thanks guys. Will do.
