Loopers: The carbs on both my loops (an Ambo & an

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...
