matbmx100 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi guys got a problem, noticed my xj was smelling of petrol. Tried to start it and about a litre of gas came out the left hand pod filter. Left it a day or so and tried to start it again. This time about 3 litres came out the crankcase breather! Im assuming something in the carbs has failed and is letting gas pour straight through what should i be looking for? Bike is an xj 550.

matbmx100 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 thanks mate, ill have good look when ive got a spare evening The fuel tap had a filter and i cleaned it before putting it all back together but i do have a spare so think ill change that first as thats easier than pulling carbs apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
