wheezy Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 where is it leaking from? theres not many places it could be leaking from because the gas tank is basically next to the carbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zx-6bytch96 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 have you pulled of your carbs to see if there leaking? one of your carb's could be loaden up or loaded up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTHExBOSSx46 Posted September 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 ok i turned the knob to let gas in the engine instead of being cut off and i let it set for a few hours. i came back to it after class today and there was no more puddle. im asuming since the tank was off the vapers had no where to go and were comming out the vpor hose out the bottom. so as of now it doesnt leak anymore. and i cut the fuel off again and its fine. maybe i filled the tank too high and there wasnt room for the vapors and pressure and it leaked out or something i dont know.

street pilot Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 or you just turned the petcock off and thought you turned it on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Your tank should be vented regardless. Perhaps one of the float valves has a pice of rust or other debris in it that is preventing it from closing all the way. Also, one of the floats could have coroded or colapsed, and isnt closing the inlet valve all the way. And is it is fuel injected, disregard this post. Im not up to speed on newer bikes.

street pilot Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 so it is still leaking? check the plastic inline filter under the tank. It may be cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
