howdy,
the solex carbs on my 18rg have a bit of fuel dripping of the bottem of them,
it is pretty slow but id like to stop it.
i cant seem to find the source and was wondering of any one else has had this problem and found what was causing it?
any tips would be great as i havent delt with duel carbies at all before.
cheers
Dom

seen it happin before but was leaking quite a bit but i found that i pulled the top of the carby and the main jet fully unscrewed itself and was letting in to much fuel and was goin everywhere but that is wat i found it to be.
Cheers Pete

if its coming from the bottom only not the top, then it is *likely* to be coming from the accelerator pump (the mechanism underneath the carb that is connected by linkage to to throttle)
IF NOT, just rip the tops off and have a bit of a look. put the air line onto the fuel line and look carefully....also might help
