[Nighthawk Lovers] Leaking carbs on EN500 kawasaki

I’ve had that happen on a Suzuki gs550 that had been sitting for years. All the gas had drained into the crankcase On Thu, Dec 13, 2018 at 10:24 AM Greg Holuban wrote: > I know. It was a long shot. On that KLX, the fuel petcock is vacuum > operated. It was weird. > > Get Outlook for Android
