450 leaking gas
#1
I tried to go riding the other day and turned the gas on and i noticed there was some leaking out of 2 tubes down by the front of the swingarm. The tubes come from the back of the carb. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem or know what caused it to start leaking all of a sudden. I thought i would ask here before taking it to the dealer and waiting a week for them to look at it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Its probably a piece of dirt or other crud, in between the needle valve and seat, and holding the valve open. Sometimes giving the side of the carb a light rapping with the back side of a screw driver, while the gas is flowing, with dislodge the crud, and alow the needle to contact the seat. If that doesnt do it, then the float bowl on the carb will need to come off, and youll have to manually clean it up. If you find alot of crud in there, you might want to put on an inline fuel filter.
