Petrol smell

[daveb]

The to get had been left standing for a few weeks due to holidays, there was a stong smell, of fuel, couldn't trace it bike ran fine as j thought running rich.

Removed the rank today, so the investigation began, one of the fuel fixings under the tank failed, so much so, a part of  hex head fell off.

Good old Fowlers gave them in stock plus the sealing washer and carriage approx £12.

And I just thought that was Welsh for:

"The Tiger had been left standing for a few weeks due to holidays. There was a strong smell, of fuel, and I couldn't trace it. The bike ran fine so I thought it was just running rich.

I removed the tank today, so the investigation began. One of the fuel fixings under the tank failed, so much so, a part of my head fell off. (Better call 9-1-1)

Good old Fowler's; including the sealing washer and part, they charged me about £12."

Im curious about the sealing washer?

[daveb]

The new metal fixing arrived also the sealing washer (rubber).

No wonder it was leaking fuel

So was the old fitting ally?

[Timbox2]

Ahhh, now it makes sense, think both me and Chris thought you were talking about the Q/R connectors for the fuel feed

So was the old fitting ally?

Yep, guess it's just corroded through
