Can't separate float bowl from carb body
My carb probably hasn't been apart since leaving the factory and I can't separate the float bowl from the carb body. I've tried tapping with a hammer and pulling with whatever strength I have but the gasket won't release it's grip. Does anyone have any tips for softening the gasket or getting the parts separated?
