Be careful cranking over the motor...don't want it to lock up from fuel. It also looks like your the top of your manifold piece is either loose or has been leaking at one point.

NewbeeMC9 Posted August 4, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 4, 2017 Mine is doing the same, I think its the gasket. Bowl drains after you shut it off and takes a while to fill it to start. a little seal all is on it until I can replace the gasket this winter.

Flyinfool Posted August 4, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2017 It looks more like oil to me. look in the air cleaner to see if there is a lot of oil in there. Over filling the oil will pump the excess into the air cleaner and from there it will leak down the sides of the carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.tyler58 Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted August 4, 2017 Flyinfool, its gas. Odoriffic! On my way to Wally's for High-tech. I like the emotion that includes, "ride it hard" best! Someone want to circle the drain screw on that photo for me? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone want to circle the drain screw on that photo for me? Sent from my SM-G935V using TapatalkIt will smell of gas because it gets up in there and mixes.... That is oily. Just to prove it dump some oil on some rubber or plastic. And dump gas on the other side. You will see the difference.

s.tyler58 Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted August 5, 2017 Clean but I believe you. it's old oil in the other pic and dry after last night's quick trip. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.tyler58 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share #11 Posted August 7, 2017 Changed oil yesterday. Rode 75 miles and now this is new. It won't come off without a solvent. Am I missing a plug in that hole? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snyper316 Posted August 7, 2017 Share #12 Posted August 7, 2017 Ummm I never looked till now good question Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted August 7, 2017 Share #13 Posted August 7, 2017 That is the weep hole on the bottom of the water pump. If anything is coming out of the hole it will be either oil or coolant or a mix of both, depending on which seal is going bad. do not plug it, it is there to let any leakage come out to help prevent cross contamination of the 2 systems.

CaseyJ955 Posted August 7, 2017 Share #15 Posted August 7, 2017 So they have oil...so oil seal bad? Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk If I'm not mistaken you can get just the oil seal. That fuel leak up on the carbs looks like it could be the O ring that goes around the drain screw. I had one deteriorate and I could really smell the raw fuel and it leaked just like that one. It just took a moment to back the screw all the way out and replace it. You will of course loose any fuel in that bowl. I got some new O rings from the universal drawer at NAPA and they work great.
