Hi everyone,
some weeks ago, trying to climb a steep dune, I fell off and the bike started rolling down (it did like 6 rolls) , but it suffered no damage since the sand was really soft. The only thing it got was sand everywhere.
So after the incident, I turned it on, went home, everything worked perfectly, then got home, turned it off, and noticed it was leaking fuel from the hose that takes fuel-excess out of the carb. Weird thing is that this happened to me only when I wheelie, but now it happens all the time. The only solution for this has been closing the fuel valve to "off" after every ride, and during the stops I make, besides the waste of time, it's a waste of fuel :(
Then, I took the carb off, checked everything including the floater and cleaned it. Nothing looked wrong on the carb.
Then I just put it back in hoping things get back to normal. But guess what? It kept on leaking fuel :confused:
Hope you can help me with this one, as you always do :D
Thanks, and sorry for my english, it's not my mother language.
