Fuel smell source
Written by douglasvanb on 2/10/2011 at 09:28 pm

Hi Stan,

Does it look like a demented Christmas tree? Is it between and behind the
carbs? If so, you might have something wrong in the carbs (torn diaphragm,
leaking stuff in the float bowls, etc). I recall it being discussed on here
sometime in the last six months... Others I'm sure have better memories on here
than me.

Cheers,

Douglas

oil/fuel residue on the surface.
