we'll i had the bike out for it's first longer day today,
at the first stop i looked down by my right foot and noticed something dripping from the airbox drain hose end, no more than a four drips maybe five
stopped to get gas, same thing
got home, and again, some drips, smelling like gas
anyone have any ideas
Check that the petcock valve is not on Pri. This happened to me once, and I thought the bike was leaking gas. The Pri jsut lets gravity take over, and fuel falls through freely.
I get gas dripping, I think from there, after about 20 seconds if I leave the petcock on PRIme and shut off the motorcycle. But it doesn't drip gas on PRIme if the engine is running.
Also, I once left it that way and overfilled the crankcase with gas. Then, I got a gas-oil mixture dripping out the airbox when the engine ran (and a little while after).
Also, I usually park on centerstand, so a few days after I fixed the crankcase problem, I parked on side stand, and then it started dripping again. I guess there was a pool of goo in the airbox, which did not fully drain until I parked on sidestand.
the carb has two 'T' connections between the carbs- the bottom one is for the fuel line and the top has a breather hose attached. if that breather hose gets pinched, clogged or plugged, your vaccum will get messed up and gas will fill the airbox. I routed my hoses wrong on my first jetting and found that too be the problem....
