Hi all,
I've been riding dirtbikes and streetbikes my whole life, but am 100% new to the trials world. I picked up a 76 Yamaha TY250 last night here in the Seattle, WA, USA area.
Brought it home and went inside to eat dinner. about an hr later i could smell fuel in the house. Drats. Went out to find a puddle of fuel under the bike. Fuel was accidentally on reserve, not off (still not good to find this much fuel on the floor) I come back out and find more fuel so i take a further look and the the bottom of the float bowl, the drain is dripping 1 drop of fuel every 2 seconds.
Here is my question... does that mean I have a dirty or faulty float needle? Or does that mean that I have a faulty petcock, and it simply cannot turn off the fuel, so the fuel has no where to go but out the bottom of the carb? Thanks in advance, this is my first post to TC, and I did run a search before posting. Thanks again,
Darren
