Fuel smell coming from the bike?

Postby marksesh » Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:42 pm

I can smell fuel when the bike hasn't been running (cold)?
Only getting 160 is out of it as well. Any suggestions please.

I had a similar problem. One of the O rings in the carby was leaking.

close the fuel cap? :lol: I agree with Gos... also check your fuel lines for cracking/hardness, they shouldnt be cracked but check anyway.
