I hope that helps somebody. It wasn't original. It was something I copy-paste-saved from this mailing list back in the day, maybe from Allen Thomas, God rest his soul.
One thing I can add personally, because I figured it out on my bike. After the winter, I would try to start it up and it would dump gas on my transmission. One year I took the carbs off and cleaned them, and it still did it afterward. Then I realized that the Advance Auto Parts clear gas hose I had put on it (I didn't trust the petcock to shut off completely and I wanted to see the gas) would dry out over the winter with no gas in it and leak at where the line joined the carbs between #1 and #2. Now, you may not be using clear gas line at all, but it is important to know where the gas is really leaking from. If I had realized it was just from a vinyl line that had gotten hard, I could have saved myself a bunch of work taking the damn things off for no good reason. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
