Severe fuel leak from somewhere behind and below #1&3 carbs?
F6Ghostrider VRCC #32501:
Are the end nuts on the though bolts easily accessible without removing all the chrome?

see nuts #31, thru bolts are #9. usually only a 1/16 of a turn is needed.
although last time I did mine one nut needed 1/8 of a turn. over 500 miles later still zero leaks.

Chris! Thank you, thank you, and thank you a thousand times over. I understand the concept of what tightening the nuts would do, but I admit I was a little skeptical of the success of that procedure. I followed your instructions and it worked like a champ!
I was ready to pull the cabs and send them off for rebuild considering the miles on my Dragon.
Soooooo happy. Thanks again Buddy! :cooldude: :D

My apologies. I did not read through all the posts carefully enough and overlooked 98valk, who provided good advice about stopping a fuel leak from the right-side bank of carbs. Thank you, 98valk!
Thanks for the advice about tightening the nuts on the carburetor thru-bolts. That worked like a charm. The two front, interior nuts were difficult to reach as I do not own a long 10mm box wrench. I followed your instructions to the letter, and it worked like a champ!
That's what I love about this forum. So much experience and knowledge out there.
Best regards to all who read and participate in this forum,
Jeff.
