    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi, My carbs were leaking gas so I dismantled them to check the floats and needle valve. I found nothing wrong, but did notice the fuel petcock was dripping in the straight on position. Would this cause the carbs to leak? Thanks Ted
 
No it shouldn't If you have the BS vacuum carbs it is mandatory to replace the O ring on the float seat assembly. It can leak giving yo uthe same condition as the floats being stuck open
 
do you mean that the fuel was leaking through the fuel line into the carbs... or leaking outside the petcock ?

One float needle valve was a sloppy fit in the bore. I put on a new "0" ring that I found at work that was about the right size and the fit is tighter. That looks like the candidate for the leakage and I also changed the other 3 "o" rings. By the way, is it a standard size "o" ring that I can purchase at the industrial supply house or a special item from Suzuki. Does anyone have the part number for it. Thanks Ted
