Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: 85 cb650sc Carb leaking fuel while running?

I have shaped a piece of aluminum to slide under all four carbs and funnel into a jar, works fine and quicker than attaching hoses. On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 10:50 PM Lar wrote: > Hi Keith > I put a plastic hose over the end of the *bowel drain at the bottom* of > my carbs, then back out the *screw

I'm living in the great white north so each fall I drain the 4 carbs until spring. Each and every spring one or more carbs leak. This time it took me hours and hours to stop it all. I put a hose on the vacuum part of the fuel shut off to suck on that and get the fuel to flow to the carbs withou

That would sound correct, fused lead to hot, unfused to negative. Though that color coding seems backwards (Brown == earths). At some point I'll colorize the other scans I have (750, 700s) but it's a fair number of hours to put into it since I don't have fancy graphics training. Kurt On Mon, Apr
