Posted: 18:18 - 03 Mar 2018 Post subject: DRZ 400 Carb Drain Leak |
|
|
Hi all,
I have noticed the drain hose on my DRZ is leaking fuel. I took the carb off the bike and found the float valve was not sealing properly (blowing through the fuel pipe and air was getting through), so I ordered a repair kit from WeMoto and fitted it. Blowed through the pipe again and it seems the valve is now completely sealed
However, there was still fuel leaking from the drain pipe. There were only two more things I could think of to try; the float height, and whether the drain screw was actually sealing. After checking, both are fine, so I am pretty much out of ideas now. I did try fitting the old plunger into the valve as the button on top was actually a slightly different size to the new one, but it's still leaking.
Does anyone have any other ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
Alex

Is it a drain or an overflow? ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."
