    hi guys,
    My 1993 ,VFR 750 is leaking fuel from the left rear carby. Dealer has replaced needles and seats ! Re assembled them into the bike but the leak is still there. Any help great fully received. It's frustrating as it only seems to occur after the tank is refilled. thanks
    Lance

    Is it leaking internally or externally?

    If internally then through the float seat - may need a polish & set the float height - look on U-tube for videos

    Externally new gaskets..


    At least thats what I'd start with

    Thanks for the reply. Have already installed new gaskets will certainly try the float polish and height.
    Regards,

    with new float needles and new bowl gaskets, only one source of leaking fuel remains: the O-rings on the fuel distribution tubes. Not at all an easy job to replace. :eek:
