Hello again guys, from the first day I am taking advantage of this friendly forum and have another question  Gas started to leak from the carburetor hose, I put out the hose screw, then put it in again, tightened and it helped for around 20 miles, but it started leaking again. By leaking I mean flowing constantly. What could be the problem? Bad screw or maybe some kind inside rubber parts? Thanks a lot in advance! Dominykas |

Presume you mean the overflow/drain tube from the bottom of the carb. Could be dirty float needle valve. FB's done a nice replacement guide here:- honda-superdream.co.uk/thread/429/quick-carb-needle-replacementNext time it leaks, tap the float bowl a couple of times - if it stops leaking, chances are it's the needle valve sticking. Worth taking it out & cleaning it & it's seat in the carb before replacement. If your lucky, you can get the float bowls off without removing the carbs! Some people have also had problems with the brass overflow tube in the float bowl corroding & leaking, plus, I suppose a hole in the float is also a possibility! |
