carb caps leaking?
« on: June 21, 2010, 08:48:25 PM »
has anyone had a problem with their carburetor caps leaking? Ive been looking for air leaks, sprayed carb cleaner at the tops of my carbs and the idle slowed and stumbled. The throttle slides travel smoothly through their bores though, so there arent any apparent signs of the slides or bores being worn. (I think) Has anybody else had this problem? I was also thinking that since you need the caps off the carbs to sync them (I have the pd46c style carbs on my 550) i shouldn't be too concerned about leaks through the gaskets at the tops of the carbs, but i could be wrong.
