I have fuel POURING out of my vent lines from the float bowl!!!!!!!! What did i do wrong!!!! Please be harsh if i did something really dumb.....i probably did....

Do you have to plug off these lines now that fuel runnes through the bowl more than it did before? Did i put the new line i the wrong hole???? I'm lost

Seems to me that Shotgun had the same problem.

 

they are in as far as i could get them with my fingers.....didn't what to use a wrench for fear of breaking the fittings.

 

actually u should use a 8 mm open end wrench and turn screw all the way in till it stops
BUT DONT FORCE IT WHEN IT STOPS STOP!

 

thanks!!!! I'll wrench on it tomorrow morning [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Should the fittings tighten all the way down to the little 0-ring thats on it?

I haven't installed mine yet because my ride is at the shop right now with other problems.
But I was just wondering if you cut the extra threads off of the brass fuel tap fitting that screws into the hex nut drain?

 

Scott is right, I had the same problem, the fitting is to long.

Call Lorn at thunder Products, ask him what to do. He'll tell you to cut them, but that way if it doesn't work, he'll back you and replace. Someone posted he was working on a shorter type for the Kawa, so give him a call.

Good luck.

 

Yeh, just cut them off so there is only 3 to 4 threads with washer in place. If any burs us a drill bit to clean hole up. Apply teflon washer and tape to threads. Snug up but not to much!

If you mess them up they are pretty good about sending news!

 

I do not think it is too long, it just seems larger on the tip. I too had the same problem. When I called, they assured me it was the right fitting, so I tightened it until it stop leaking. JUST BE CAREFUL!
