QuestionYour service has been helpful for me in the past, I have just upgraded my exhaust system for 1984 Kawasaki kz700, installed MAC 4 into 1 header.
Problem after install everything worked fine, this morning less than 24 hours after install, I have developed a leak from the outer left carb, coming from the top of the mixing bowl, looks like its from the screw, I tried to tighten the screw but no change, just seems to produce steady stream when engine is on.
I looked online for carb schematic, bikebandit has schematic, but looking at it, seems like there is NO gasket for this location, is this correct and if so, any suggestion for leak in this area.
AnswerI hope Im looking at the same part there is a gasket between bowl and top casting on carb. They do dry up and shrink up causing them to leak. If this is correct the gasket part# 11060-1607.There are a lot of web sites to look up parts try "powersportspro.com" and it should show a break down of parts and prices to help you.
Obvious Im looking at the wrong part of the carb. The fuel leak you have described could be a bad hose or connection on the petcock and leaking fuel running down a hose and dripping off at a different point than the leak. There is a gasket in the cap above the mix chamber.
