Hi all,
I hate to be the guy that only posts when his bike is broke...but
A few of you may remember i had some drama with my 07 America some time ago where, in exchange for favours (a website) a Triumph mechanic agreed to do some work on my bike off the books and left me with carbs (sans needles) gently pissing petrol everywhere and a bike that couldnt ride.
Anyway, i bit the bullet, got a local garage to look at it and through a series of adventures ended up replacing the carbs with new (second hand) ones and having a bunch of other work done to it (that he'd broke).
All happy, bike running fine.
So i go away for 7 months, store it in a garage, stabiliser, calipers off, battery disconnected and (once i buy a new battery) when i get back it starts up totally fine with no problems.
EXCEPT
a mystery rubber hose is gently leaking fuel from the bottom of the bike (in front of the rear wheel, next to the tank overflow pipe).
Now it's not the carb overflow, as that terminates just above my chain.
It's not my tank overflow because (after that was unsealed after Triumph guy borked it) that terminates _next) to this mystery pipe.
I've swapped fuel for new fuel, Cleaned carbs with carb cleaner and in truth i'm not sure where to go from there...
Currently it's a bugger to start (takes ages to catch, on full choke with gentle throttle) but when it does start it runs totally fine (apart from one incident where it died on me...but i think i'd run out of fuel...doh).
Any clues guys? it's gently pissing fuel at a steady drip and i'm not really comfortable riding it for a significant distance whilst it's incontinent.
Thanks for your time and patience
Ant
