I have a 78 750 k. Had carbs rebuilt. put them on and as soon as you turn on the gas is leaks from the tube under the # 2 carb. Any suggestions on the issue?? Is the float bad or is it the needle? You all sound as if you know your stuff. I am just learning. Thanks for your help.
Could be either one. It could also be the pin that the float bowl pivots on. Turn your petcock on and when the fuel starts coming out, tap the float bowl with a screwdriver and see if it stops. If it does, then it is probably the float bowl sticking. If not then there might be something wrong with the needle or seat.
Thanks so much for the help. Will try it the evening when I get off. I won't be able to let you know till tomorrow. Though I am one of the three people in my state without internet at home. LOL. Going the check the vent hole in the tank Too. Thanks alot.
