It's probably the fuel rail o-rings.
Some have found that after riding for a while, the o-rings swell back up and the leak stops. Others have swapped them out. |

Only after you determine exactly, from where the leak is occurring. You could tap the carburetor to see if the leaking stops, which would indicate the leak is a needle valve issue. *** |

Lifting, stacking, pricing, stocking 35,000 lbs. of turkeys is wearing this old man down. Now it's time to get psyched up for 20,000 lbs. of prime ribs and hams. |

Big BF will be coming back at some time. He recently rebuilt 2 sets of carbs for me. Watching him go through them was like watching an artist at work. |
