Leaky carb

[mm1ut1]

My XS 1100 has a leaky carb. Took carbs out (Massive hassle) and took bowl off . Float looks good, a tiny bit of sediment in the bowl. Leak Might have been from old gasket but looking at the needle there is a warn ring that can be seen in the photo. Plan is to replace it and seat and get a new gasket. Engine ran fine so I am going to leave everything else alone. Dos this sound like an appropriate plan of action? Should I pull the other carb bowls off since I have them out or leave things alone ? Your advice is appreciated. Btw money is tight !

Btw money is tight !

So are the carbs.
I'd guess the other 3 float valves ain't far behind that one.
Iirc, the 11 used BS34 carbs. Do a search for viton tipped float valves for the 34's
Edit: just remembered @jetmechmarty went through the carbs on his 11 not to long ago. Maybe he has some words of wisdom here....
