fw2000 Posted August 29, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 29, 2010 I have a 2006 RSV that has set for a while. When I turn on the key the fuel pump runs and pumps fuel out of some type of vent line behind the left cowling. It is not the tank vent as I have pulled that hose and checked. Anyone have any idea what it might be and how to cure the problem? Thanks. Frank :icon_smile_question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyRich Posted August 29, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 29, 2010 You have a stuck float. Try tapping the carbs on that side. Also run some Seafoam thru them to clean the gunk out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking floats are tough to fix without removing the carbs and opening them up. Tapping on the bowl will sometimes help, as will draining the carbs. If you can get it to shut off with those methods, then a few tanks of Seafoam or 44K may clean things up enough to keep from having to pull them.
