Fuel leaking from carburetor

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bryanj:
The yanks swear that the standpipes inside the bowl crack and let fuel through but i only ever seen 1

Lobo:
I ride my 400F only occasionally and often (at fuel on) get a carb overflowing. (probably coz I run the float bowls dry after every outing). Anyways, when & if it happens, just a medium tap on the offending bowl with a screwdriver handle and all fixed. Possibly the float pins need polishing, but given my sporadic use and effort to remove the carbs it’s one I can live with; if I used the bike daily it’d be unacceptable.

I once lost a full tank of juice onto the tarmac because of a sticking float.

Did it melt the tarmac at all like I've done on the communal veranda? ;D

mike the bike:
No.  It all ran down hill and evaporated.   There was a large ball of ice on the carbs from the evaporation.
