Has anyone else had a problem with a fuel leak from the carb? I believe the problem is the float and I can't get it to free up by rapping on the outside. I suspect it may have a leak and has "sunk" in the bowl. Many of these were originally made of brass. A pin hole will flood them and they won't float anymore. Also I have some good manual info on the '81 model, but my bike is an '82. Are the virtually the same?

Thanks for the advice Bill. I did do some rapping with a small brass hammer to try to dislodge the stuck float but no luck. If I take it aprt I may replace the screws with the allen head type.

Well first you can take a plastic handle of a screw driver or hammer and tap the side of the carb to dislodge the
float. If that does not work you will have to remove the float bowl and remove the float and float needle valve
to see if there is dirt holding it open or if the float is cracked and full of gas.

My bike has developed a fuel leak whenever I open the fuel valve (in either position regular or reserve). It leaks out the bottom of a couple of lines from the carb to the ground. I had read that it may be a cracked float or a float stuck in the down position. The lines that are leaking permit fuel to drain out if the float bowl becomes too full.
Has anyone else had this problem and how did you resolve it?
