The glass bowl will leak, either at the valve which has a seal, or the bowl itself which has a gasket on top. The aftermarket sediment bowls are notorious for leaking at the valve. Sometimes you have to buy a few to find one that don't leak.

Had a great Labor Day family picnic. We picked the blue claws, then burgers, corn, potato salad, baked beans, and apple pie. Then played Bocce Ball, corn hole and tractor rides with my favorite Grand Nephew.

Usually the only problem with these carburetors is debris and there is a good chance that no parts will be needed. I have bought import kits for the base gasket, bowl gasket and welch plugs, the float needles often have sharp corners causing them to hang up. Don't use intake to block gaskets from China. I blast carburetor cleaner with a straw in each hole in the hope that the area behind the welch will be cleared, if I still have problems only then will I remove the plug. I just priced the accelerator pump and carb kit from Onanparts.com, Onan was always high priced but they are now out of control.

That's a good question. I left the PC-7 to dry overnight. I feel like doing bodywork with Bondo, if you caught it earlier, it would sand faster. I used 80 grit on a DA sander to somewhat shape it first. Then I used 180 grit not staying in one place too long. The hard part was the area where there was no bakelite at all. It was built up so thick that it took a lot of hand sanding. Now, about 2 small places on the bottom and one low spot I still need to put some more PC-7 on. This will be hand sanded since it won't be so thick. Then, adhesion promoter and flexible primer and I'll spray on the Rust Oleum truck bed liner. Dave

@Achto that paint fade and dried out seat would look in perfect PATINA STAGE , with little work , mothers back to black , vinyl / plastic for seat , penetrating oil , spray down let it sit for days / weeks , wipe down with a clean cloth / mineral oil , no scratch pads or paint scrubbing , done a lot of that , with good results , deep solid oiled finish . just my thought , pete
