carb needle randomly stopped seating properly
82 gs550m katana. parked it one night and found a puddle of fuel under it the next morning. just out of the blue. never leaked before ever! pulled the carbs apart. clean as a virgin inside. took out all the needles and found that three of the four are the same size and shape and one is just slightly larger. the larger one is where it leaks. leaks out of the intake port and out of the overflow. to confirm it was a problem with the needle, i switched it to the neighboring carb and that one started leaking. i just don't understand why all of a sudden out of no where the needle would be not able to seat properly! any ideas? float levels are all the same. would it be bad to raise that float level a bit?Tags: None
