zr1_170 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Found a small fuel leak on the bike. It turns out someone worked on it and did not return the spring clamps on the fuel lines going to the tank. When I pulled them off fuel start running out every where. My question is I thought the fuel valve was vacuum operated? Is the valve I have bad if it pours fuel when the bike is not running? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mike You may have a hole in the diaphram - I started finding my bike occasionally had hydraulic lock - diaphram leaked and filled the cylinders with raw fuel. Ended up with a new diaphram and an oil/filter change just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr1_170 Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Cool so I guess the valve is rebuild-able? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
