Help with a carburetor fuel leak.


Recommended Posts

  The carburetor on the left side (Choke side) is leaking fuel from where the fuel fitting looks to be pressed into the carburetor body. I tried to wiggle it to see if it is loose and it wasn’t loose. Is there any way to fix it ? 
 

Thanks

  Have you ever replaced the oem fuel hoses going to the cabs? As the fuel hoses age they tend to get stiff and then they begin to leak because they lose their grip on the fittings. Check the fuel hoses before you do anything.

@JerzOutlaw350Thanks for the info about the fuel hoses. I just got done checking the fuel hoses and you were right they are semi stiff and when I went to bent the hose it cracked. So it looks like I need to get some new fuel hose tomorrow. Thanks again for helping me out. 

 

Thanks

   Depending on if you’re planning to do some riding this weekend then the best thing to do is go your local dealership and get some of the Motion Pro Gray Tygon fuel line. I would suggest buying at least 3ft of it. Then if you’re looking for the clean look of the OEM fuel lines then check out either https://www.motosport.com/ or  https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/ and look under OEM parts for the 3 fuel lines that you need.
