I noticed a pungent gasoline smell coming from my raptor awhile ago. I looked in the gas tank and noticed that the tank was almost empty. I went to change my oil today and it was almost water. I tried catching the oil and fire and it caught. Somehow gas is leaking into my engine.

If anyone has experienced a problem like this or could help me with this problem I would appreciate it.

 

sounds like a sticky needle valve or a float that needs adjusting

are your overflow tubes dripping??

 

My shut off valves don't work for some reason.

 

you must mean the bowl drain screws,,,,,if so,,,,,your needle valves arent seating properly (due to either blockage or floats need adjusting)

common, simple problem

 

Thanks, I'll check it out.

 

to check them,,,,,get a 1/8 inch (i think) clear tube about 12 " long

connect it to the bottom of the bowl,,,,and loosen the screw about 2 turns so you begin to drain your bowl (be sure fuel is turned on)

your needle valve will open to allow more fuel to come in

hold the clear tube to the side of the carberator vertically pointing up

and see at what level you fuel rises to (in the clear tube)

check each side

let us know how high it goes (in relation to the mating surfaces between the carb and bowl)
