TM40 carb leaking from draining hose
New ProCycle TM40 carburettor dripping petrol from lower drain hose.
Just installed a new TM40 on my DR650 and noticed dripping petrol from the lower drain hose when bike is not running (parked on side-stand). It was a slow drip when the tank was near empty but is now dripping at a faster rate with the Safari tank filled. I understand that this leak could be occurring due to the float valve not being seated properly in a fully closed position which could be the result of debris trapped between the float valve and valve seat or deformation of the float valve tip however with it being so new could there be other reasons? Has anyone had a similar problem? Any suggestions on a fix would be really appreciated thanks.
