Re: Help fuel leak

it's the drain for the carb bowl. there should be a hose attached to it that just gets it out of the way. thereis only one screw on the bottom of the carb (float bowl) that should be a flathead screw. If you tighten that it shouldn't leak.

If it still leaks, A guy just had a problem where he was missing the float valve or something and the carb would just fill up with gas and overflow.

Try tightening that screw first though.

Re: Help fuel leak

I also had the same problem when i was tappin the bar! What i did was put a nail in the hose i think there are 2 on my bike that have nails rite now to stop it from leaking. I left the one that is coming from the bowl tho as a breather i think im not so sure. But someone on fiddylife told me to do that.
