Petrol leak from Carburettor - Mach 500 Hey Guys,
I had this exact same issue explained below.. Royal Enfield - Login - Motorcycle India, Bike India, Two wheeler India, Royal Enfield, Thunderbird India, Adventure ride, Leisure riding, Bullet India
I just reached home and started searching for the solution.
I somehow got my bike home turning the petrol knob ON/OFF on the way to prevent leackage....
I was wondering whether I shall go ahead and open the carb to find out whether there is a dirt or the floats are stuck or there is a puncture in the float!!!!
Mine is the Machismo 500 and its run just 17xxK now..
I'm searching for the solution if I get something ,, else I will go and start troubleshooting it myself... I'll definately check this place again in few minutes if I'm lucky and someone gives me some more ideas,, otherwise, I know what Brian told to do with this issue @ above link.....
on a sidenote,, it was leacking eventhough I turn the petrol knob off,, after hitting the base of the carb with one of the tools in my kit,, it at least stopped leacking when the petrol knob is OFF - however, it leacks when I turn the petrol knob ON.... |
