IMG_7052.jpg Excuse the side ways picture, I have a leak in this location. Gas specifically. I thought it was leaking out of carb #1, but i got a closer look and it is right at the airbox where the carb meets the seal, except right against the airbox. A little more info, I just replaced the handelbars, but used all the existing throttle/cables, etc. The Fuel switch is in the 'ON' position. I am wondering if it is the auto-cock. It is a slow drip, but accumulates quickly. Any ideas?

If it's gas then you probably have a stuck float and one of the carbs is overflowing along with a bad petcock if the lever is in the on position and leaking. Check your oil for gas smell and pull your air filter and see if it's soaked.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

Only if you want to ruin the engine by running it with the oil diluted by gas...Originally posted by jryanmc View PostComment

I just need to get it to a garage where I can get into the carbs and take a look. No way of towing. I will identify if the oil is diluted with gas tonight.Comment

If it will run and only for a short trip, then make sure the oil is not flooded with gas, change if needed and disconnect the fuel line once you get it there.http://img633.imageshack.us/img633/811/douMvs.jpg

An ounce or two of gas in the oil won't hurt anything. It will evaporate out the next time the engine warms up. A gallon or two will hurt something. You decide.Comment
