| Loopers: The carbs on both my loops (an Ambo & an Eldo) leak or perhaps more accurately ooze a little, mainly from the float bowl nuts. I tighten them periodically (they almost always seem to be able to be tightened a little), but the oozing/leaks persist. Obviously I don't want to overtighten. I'm thinking this is inherent to the carbs, but maybe not--anyone know of any remedies? |
From readin all the replies I haven't heard any
suggestion regarding the fuel taps. I keep mine off
unless riding, and have not had any seepage like you
are asking about...fresh gaskets and not too tight...
