2 carb questions

[-Herbie-]

1. right carb leaks off and on from outlet at bottom of bowl. Carb has been completely dismantled, cleaned & re-installed twice including setting float height. What else could it be? Doesn't happen all the time just on and off and when it leaks its a steady stream.

 

2. everytime i remove the carbs i take off the rear plastic, take out the airbox, then remove carbs. Is there an easier way? getting the airbox back in is a bitch!

1. Replace Needle Valve & Seat Assy.

 

2. Look at where the air box connects to the front on the frame. There are small 2 frame mounts that stick out, cut those off flush. Problem solved. Then you can drop the box out the bottom in 2 seconds and never have to fight with it or take your rear fender off again.

Had same problem on my 06, Replaced needle and seats, and problem solved.

#1-replace the needle and seats and set your float level.

 

#2- get rid of the airbox and put pods or a 2 into 1 filter on it.
