Where ever we park the motorhome, USA
I know this sounds simple and easy. I got my suspension back from Dick's Racing on Tuesday and installed it. I put fuel in the tank and tried to start the bike. My son says " There's something leaking under there." I look and gas is flowing out the overflow tube. So I close the petcocks, drain the fuel bowl, and removed the bowl. Cleaned the needle and seat and reassembled everything. I noticed when I removed the bowl, it was very tight and would not pull straight off. When I reassembled, it went on a little crooked. So I removed it again and it took three tries to seat the bowl, but one side still wouldn't seat flush. So I tightened the bottom hex bolt and the stupid thing leaks like a sieve. I have tried tightening to the point that I thought I was going to break the bottom hex bolt. I can't get the one side to draw up liquid tight to the carb body. Anyone have a similar problem? It only leaks when the bike is laying over to its right side at more than a 45 degree angle. So if I only crash left it won't matter :lol:
