Help with carb problem please. C10 Remote float bowl carb.
I can turn on the fuel tap and leave it for an hour or so and get no fuel leak.
When I tickle the carb prior to starting, before any fuel squirts out of the appropriate hole in the float bowl cap, fuel leaks from around the mixing chamber nut, out of the tiny breather hole above the thread that takes the mixing chamber nut and if I leave it long enough, out of the air intake as well.
If I leave it, it will continue to leak.
So at that point.....I turn off the fuel at the tank. The carb being flooded I then start the bike. Turn the fuel back on, the bike runs fine and the fuel stops leaking. I stop the engine, fuel still turned on at the tank.....no leak.
Turn the fuel off at the tank. All's fine until next time I come to start it.
There's no problem until I tickle the carb again.
I've got a bald patch from scratching my head. Any suggestions please? And don't tell me to protect my head with a cap!!!!
They all do that
