my ex has a 42 mm keihin which has been sitting up for acouple of months and has started leaking out of the bowl drain even though the drain screw is tight and none leaks by the o-ringed screw head,only out the drain tube. Any body have any input?

Ethanol will attract moisture which in turns promotes corrosion. All it takes is a speck of crud to make it leak past the O-ring.

after disassymbly I found a stuck float due to a build up of ''crud'' from crappy ethanol ,while i had the gas tank off i set my valves back to factory specs then went for a ride and let that 460 eat!
