naviathan Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I must say, you obviously know what a period is because you used one at the end of the "sentence". That said, please for God's sake, use punctuation and proper grammar in a sentence! It's so irritating to try and help someone out, but you can't understand what they're asking or get a headache trying to read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensaf Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 The front carb started leaking out of the filter. Somehow I also think it's a syncing issue, but I'm trying to switch to triple mikuni's soon, so I haven't really looked into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughdogz Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Your SU was leaking out of the air filter box? The most likely thing that happened is the float was stuck, not closing the needle valve. In case this happens, there is a barb & hose (on the float chamber lid) that directs the overflow into the airbox, so that it will be sucked into the engine instead of dripping on the hot exhaust manifold, causing a fire.

Mensaf Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'll take a look tomorrow. Do you by chance have a picture of what you're talking about? The carb wasn't leaking until I went on a little road trip and drove for a straight 2-3 hours. Possibly got stuck from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeoski Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'll look in to this later to. I checked the oil in the front carb to find it way below the lines just a little was on the brass end , If the Su carb float gets stuck would this make the oil run out quicker inside the carb ?
