GQ Fixing...

Update: Well the Carby is off (funny, they always say never work under a car only supported by a jack, but they never say never work under a bonnet supported only by rickety metal stick).

It looks like someone already removed the little grid. Plus I found a sticker that said "Johnno was here" (or words to that effect)

Anyway, while it's off I'll empty a can of carby cleaner into it. Tighten all the screws, and carry on.

I've been reading through Dom14's carb rebuild from 2013, which was quite helpful (but more than I am interested in doing. I want to be back on the road this weekend!)

Is it worth replacing these gaskets?

Retain the gaskets if they aren't brittle. I have slipped a small ball bearing into the pre-heat flap vacuum hose, for the warmer months.
I will retain the dust collector when/if I ever get a snorkel. I am thinking of fitting a clear bowl with a tap so I can drain it and also clean out the dust regularly. Also keep the deflector can that juts down into the inlet manifold as it is there for a purpose.
