Preventing 750 Bowl Gasket Swell.
« on: June 26, 2010, 11:27:55 PM »
I seem to have run into an issue, If my bike is on the side stand for an extended period of time the gaskets swell up and cause leakage when I turn the fuel on to start up the bike.

This has happened once since a total rebuild of the carbs. Are these aftermarket gaskets going to swell each time they touch gas or will they calm down? Also is there anyway to prevent them from swelling, or from swelling so much?
