Gas leaking from carburetor?

Gas leaking out of carburetor in harley Davidson?

  • Answer:

    You have to be more precise - where on the carburetor is the gas leaking from? The fuel line on the late model CV carburators enters from the bottom left as you face the carburetor and you could have a leak there, particularly if an aftermarket clamp replaces the original. If its leaking out the front - into the air filter system, then you might want to check the float level and likely replace the float valve. I'll be quite honest with you, with the late model carburators is is less expensive to buy a good used one on E-Bay than it is to repair one in most cases - there are lots of them and they are very inexpensive despite being one of the best CV carburators on the market.
