SOURCE: leaking gas line

what that is,it is an overflow hose so you don't flood the engine.close off your fuel when you are not running and that should fix it UNLESS it leaks while you are running.than that is a different issue.

make sure your air filter and airbox are clean. if they're good then check that your choke is working properly.

SOURCE: when i start my 2005 royal star venture it

stuck floats!...purchase a can of Sea Foam from any Autostore pour in about a third of a can per every 2 gals of fuel.. and then you must ride it for a least 30 miles to let it work through the fuel system, also obviously check the main fuel line hose feed for secure connections to the carbs..i had a bad fuel leak once and it was pouring out fast, it ended up being a bad rubber gasket going one side of the fuel tee connection.

If the carb is leaking fuel and the leak is not at the hose fitting,

  • either the float needle is missing
  • the needle is being held open by trash
  • The float level is set wrong
  • The float is bad and is filled with fuel
  • The last two are the most likely since you have cleaned the carb well. Be sure the float is free on the hinge pin.

The float should be light as a feather and with only air inside it. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

2006 Honda Shadow won't start. Gas tank filled. Sat 8 mo. Gas leaked out but not into engine.No sign of external leak. into

1. Drain the gasoline.
2. Remove the carb bowl(s) and turn on the petcock to drain the fuel in the lines.
3. Clean out the carb bowl(s) and replace.
4. Refill with gasoline, add 1 oz of Seafoam fuel system cleaner (I'm not a sponsor, I just haven't found anything better) to each gallon of gas. This will stabilize your fuel as well as do a great job of cleaning out the carb(s).
5. Try to start it.

If it still won't start, begin the standard troubleshooting procedure by first pulling a spark plug and turning it over to ensure gas is getting to the cylinder. If so, replace the plug, hold the plug wire slightly away from the plug and turn it over to ensure a spark jumps between the wire and plug. If so, it starts getting complicated. Buy a manual for the bike if you don't have one and follow the troubleshooting steps there.

I have a poulan pp3816 pro 38cc that leaks gas out the muffler

Its either well flooded, or the carb needle is leaking, remove the spark plug, with the ignition switch off crank the engine to evacuate any fuel left in the cylinder, leave the machine for a couple of hours, re fit the plug and try to start useing no choke, if it still does not start, remove the spark plug again, rest it on top of the cylinder ( away from the spark plug hole ) crank the engine and check for a spark, if it has a good spark and the plug is soaked with fuel it could be a carb needle leaking, remove the carb, remove the metering cover held with four screws, replace the rubber tipped needle.

Bike runs lean. when you let off the gas it stays

is your intake boot cracked? when it is idling, spray carb cleaner around carb and intake. If it revs, it is an air leak. Also, your slide could be stuck or a kink in throttle cable.

Gas leaking from bottom of carb

Your info is vague; does gasoline leak when engine running or at any time? Does the engine run ok, or is the engine flooding from too rich a gas mixture ?
Most often the leak is the seal on the float bowl; either the top rim gasket or the fiber washer on the center nut/bolt. It also can be from a sticking float that is allowing the gas to continue above the normal level (just like in a toilet tank). This can happen if the float is deteriorated from moisture over the year and gas/water has gotten into the float and making it hevier than normal (thus changing the level at which hte float actually floats and stops the inflow of gas. Also , the needle that the float pushes to stop gas can stick open or closed.
Most of this work can be done without renoving carb from engine but it requires a bit more dexterity to work on it while attached. Goodluck, Macgivor

Sumthing is wrong with the carburator

hi,
to get a good combustion inside the engine, you(engine) needs fuel-air mixture, since it leaks fuel the mixture is too rich on air. Where does the carb leak? maybe it's just the connection that leaks...I mean where the fuel line connects to the carb, If it leaks there it also sucks in extra air instead of fuel, and therefor the engine doesnt run smooth, choke or no choke, that makes no difference. Check that and if it leaks there just change out the fuel line with a new hose.
It could also be the little rubber ring that seals of the carb, If it leaks from the top of the carb...it's the little ring. Take off the top of the carb and check the condition of the ring, if faulty.. replace it with a new one.
Hope this helps....can be pretty dangerous riding around with a leaking carb... Good luck, Gilbert.
