Valve job

[KAWoodworth]

I'm getting ready to tackle checking my valve clearance on my 2007 Royal Star Venture. I know I need 2 valve cover gaskets. The fantastic write up that VGoose posted says to remove the carbs. Do I need any new gaskets for the carbs? If I need new carb gaskets what are the part numbers on them from Parts Shark. Every winter when I put my bike up there is always a couple of drops of coolant that leaks out from the freeze plugs. Does anyone know the part number of the freeze plugs from Parts Shark and how many do I need? I would like to replace them.

 

Thanks

You shouldn't need anything for the carbs. Though it would be a fantastic time to check and set the float levels while you have them off. If you do that, you MAY need new bowl gaskets but I was careful and able to reuse mine.

part number for plug 90338-11152-00 . you can use an old spark plug to screw into them so you can pull them out

Thanks guys. I was planning to try and set the carb float levels while I have them off.
