Hi guys,
I need a bit of advice. I started my bike after a week or two of it sitting idle and had given the battery a charge. Bike starts no problem. There is a fuel leak, fuel runs down the back of the engine but I can't see from exactly where. After a few more checks I have found the fuel leak starts when I switch on the ignition and the fuel pump is priming. Then it stops. When I fire the engine the leak starts again. With the engine running it sounds rough, like it is not running on all 4 cylinders.
My suspicion is a stuck float bowl in one of the carbs. Is there a trick I can do to fix this without having to remove the tank and airbox just to get access to the carbs?
Thanks and happy xmas to everyone
Paul
