Carb leak


Recommended Posts

Hello. Few days ago i noticed petrol smell in garage. Then i see that gsx is leaking beadly. It was leaking from carbs in to engine and then from rear sprocket oil seal :S

 

So engine was full of oil/petrol. So everything is dismounted, i will wait till petrol evaporates totaly. Then engine flush with new oil. 

Then i dismounted carbs. When i set petcock to PRI it starts to leak beadly from carb 1 and 2. Floats and needles that opens/closes petrol work ok. Cant figure out what is the problem?? May be float hight??

With petcock set ON everything is normal.

That's a massive fuel leak. The carbs look really clean and in good shape. Have they been apart recently? Anyway, if they were mine I'd be taking the whole lot to bits and replacing the seals and any other parts that are obviously worn. BS carbs have joins between carb pairs for the fuel intake, with each removable alloy stub having 4 o'rings (I think, maybe 2). If these are perished, fuel is going to piss out like in your video :).
