Fuel smell source
Written by mlmiller1959 on 2/10/2011 at 09:42 pm

I'm going to pay attention to this thread. I, too, eliminated the gas cap as a
source and can't find a sign of any sort of leak at the petcock I'm still
assuming mine is/are the carb boots.

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
