Gs 1100 ES

[Guest]

I had my carbs completely gone through two years ago with appropriate rebuilding kits. The mechanic I used did and great job and the bike has ran flawlessly. I seem to be having an issue with leaking fuel at the carbs. Can someone tell me what the effects of Ethanol fuel has on these bikes. I have always stored the bike with marine stabil and used Seaform every other thank.The only thing I can figure out may be is I have not used the bike that often But I try try the start the bike up once a month at a minimum. Any feedback would certainly be appreciated. Thank you Joe

One way or another the floats are sticking. Either they are gummed up or debris in the tank is fouling a needle. The fuel does go off faster than before but not sure if that's the problem on your bike considering the stuff you are using in the tank. The marine grade of Stabil is reputed to work much better than the regular stuff so you might want to keep this in mind.
