>From the drawing it looks like it should be 2+2. But they are also indexed, so you shouldn't be able to put them on backwards, which you would need to in order to be able to change which side of the bike it points to. Maybe we need to do a list-wide check, to see which one occurs more often? Mayb

Partial to your partial. Yes, ethanol is hygroscopic, but only to a point. Once it has reached its stable azeotrope it doesn't pull any more moisture out of the surrounding environment. What moisture it does attract it holds tightly to it, which is why it's a component of gas antifreeze/dewatering

Which tells you that someone has had the carbs off before. But come to think of it, I had a CB650SC with three drain screws all facing the same way and just the outside 4th one facing out. It was no problem getting them all with a long screw driver Sent from my iPad > On Dec 23, 2015, at 19:16

Well, I went to visit her in storage and from what I saw in the limited light is that only the second carb is accessible from the right side. The other three drain screws face to the left side of the bike. This makes draining carb 4 difficult to get to. On Monday, December 21, 2015 at 8:18:42

We go through this regularly, but unless you have Styrofoam floats you really don't need to worry about E10 sitting in your bowls. E50, maybe, since the jets are brass, but all the varnishing compounds, sediments, and gunk-making nastiness is found in the standard cocktail we call gasoline. Ethanol

Usually sight glasses are intended to be used while holding the bike upright, so that isn't a concern. However, it's possible that, and this is just my first guess, the extra oil was added to mask an oil pump problem. If the pump has too much clearance and can't "suck" oil from the pan, raising t
