    If at all possible I would suggest adding the right hand lean stand it comes in very handy on many parking occassions as well. I always like to lean my bike to the right when backed in with a row of other bikes leaning to the left, just for kicks. You would be surprised how much attention that gets.

    Good point, Planning to change the oil anyway

    This one of the times when my right side lean stand comes in handy. I can do this operation without draining the oil by just putting the bike on the right stand. All the oil goes to the other side of the engine.

    Aint that the truth:backinmyday:

    Nope, not the slave cylinder it's usually the seal around the stator cover most likely from around the rubber plugs the stator and pick-up coil wire pass thru. The leak shows up at the spot where the slave cylinder is at. The fix dosn't require you disturbing the slave cylinder. With mine I coated the seal edge of the rubber plugs with black atv and reassembled and the leak stopped. You will need a new stator cover and middle gear cover gasket to do this repair.

    Ok I found the o-ring. It did kinda look a little dry and crusty so I guess I'm gonna have to go on a hunting trip for them. Thanks for the info.

    I thought this may have been the issue but I'm unsure about the o-ring of which you speak. the jet block o-ring can you give me more details there is not an o-ring around the the fastener screw. Just a brass washer.

    I don't believe using a torch to inspect the gas line would be a good idea. At least in the american version of the King's english. Just saying

    I can't blame anyone but me cause I'm the only one that has been in the carbs. Sure hope this fixes the problem.

    While reinstalling the diaphrams today I noticed something odd. On carb #3, (right front) the brass round piece that the diaphram needle goes into was protruding about 3/8" out of the carb throat wall. On the other three carbs it was flush with the carb throat walls. Could this be a factor in the poor gas mileage problem and why. See Pics attached.

    I took the banana twinkie tube off and put on one of those after market breather filter things.

    Not RTV, the last time I repaired the pin holes I used the aerosol PLASTI Dip spray on product on both side of the diaphram. With that product you get a much more even coat but it is a much thinner coat of rubber. I just believe in time the gasoline must break it down. On this repair I believe i'll go back to the brush on liquid rubber product. I was getting more like 28 MPG, and trying to figure out why.

    I'm wondering what effect this condition has on my poor gas mileage problem, and what it means. I took the diaphram covers off the carbs. All of the diaphrams had 2 to 5 pin holes in them, plus Carb 1 (left front), 2 (Left rear) and 3 (Right front) as your sitting on the bike, all had a film of dry dirty, greasy coating the inside surface of the covers, and the carb surface behind the diaphrams. The diaphram had a sticky feel to it like wet paint. ( probably partially disengrating rubber coating from previouse pin hole fixes with liquid rubber) [ATTACH]71649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71651[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]71652[/ATTACH] #4 (right rear) was cleaner and wet with gas:confused24:

    No you do not. If you try my method you will find out it works extreamly well without the use of a 2X4.

    MKI & MKII Joints are the same.

    I've repaired them using the two part epoxy putty for plastic but, it looks like this one has too much real estate missing.

    Raffle tickets he was selling for a reduced rate for a foot long.......... much to Freebirds segrin

    I'm just saying, It is possible to do it as I suggested. I know because I have done it. Removing the front wheel only takes a minute or two and might be easier than removing the center stand to use the motorcycle lift. But, I really don't care it can be done any way he wants to do it. Have a nice day:stickinouttounge:

    I beg to differ, The question was can you remove the back tire without removeing the centerstand. The answer is yes you can.... by doing the following........... Blah, Blah, Blah yourself

    Ice cream sprinkles and some high octane 15% ethanol fuel
