Fuel smell source
Written by douglasvanb on 2/11/2011 at 08:15 pm

Hi Stan,

Yup, that's the Christmas tree thing. Something in your carbs probably isn't
right. In the files section there is a guide to rebuilding/servicing carbs.
Try doing a tear-down and look for pin-holes or cracks/tears in the various
diaphragms and O-rings. At least that's my 0.02 USD.

Cheers,

Douglas

You'll see the familiar Windows file selection pop-up and should be able to
navigate to the picture of the part you are asking about.

not find the name or function of the part which appears to be part of the vacuum
system. It is approximately 3/8 inch in diameter and black plastic tube.. It has
oil/fuel residue on the surface.
