Right - that’s what I did last time and immediately cracked the plastic tubes - which is why I had to do the aluminum tube replacement. They did...
Any way to test that the o ring is sealing properly this time around? I’ve got a carb rebuild kit and a few different sized o rings sized up and...
As expected the fuel leak was a fuel tube joint. This one particular at the joint where the rear right carb meets the crossover tube from the...
Late to the party, but colddevil - if you’re having trouble sourcing something and don’t want to replace the entire carb, I can have a go at...
Glad to say the fuel leakage issue didn’t rear its head this weekend. Got 350 miles of windy mountain and farm roads in from Saturday noon to...
Battery/starter terminals were reversed so had to finesse the wiring a bit, but all wrapped up - electrics work, starter fires. Sent from my...

Good news is it’s running like a champ. Turned some heads with the smoking collector from the paint baking off. Much quieter - one mildly clacky...
Aaaand it was a float. Bone dry now. Let’s see how she rides -Ed 1972 CL350 1985 VF700F
Only happening when using the fuel pump… running the carbs directly off of a reserve tank and there’s no drips… It seems like there might be some...
Something must have happened when I had the carbs out - bike started up after some heavy cranking and I’ve got quite the fuel leak: [IMG] [IMG]...
Anyway - everything came together. Hardest part was getting the carbs back in again. Filled up with Mobil-1 4T full synthetic, reinstalled the...
