Well went out to try and fix the issue with the four-way fuel inlet and it frigging broke... Guess I'll have to buy a new carb body. Twist the handle and move!!!

So if I ever have to replace the cover I guess mine would stick out more? Or would it be a larger circumfrance?

Ok I have done this... The subframe goes on after you put the gas tank in there is a bracket at the top of the tank that I put on losely to kinda hold the gas tank. Then I put the 2 bolts in the back where the crash bars are and kinda role it into position over the tank. Then I take the bolt that screws to the top of the tank and thread it a couple of turns. Then I go to the front of that frame and line up the holes and screw them in some and double check to make sure I haven't missed anything then I tighten up the neck bracket then do the to front bolts to the frame. Then I tighten up the bolt for the tank. Then I go to lower bolt and nut. Only one problem I have an 83 But I can't imagine it being much difference other then how the saddle bags go on.

Must been a fast one. The buggies here at this Wal*Mart I can get on my belly and flip flop faster then these goes.... Which with a Bigger Person on they might as well ride a turtle...

How can ODUMBO and odumbocare crap on retirement. Twist the handle and move!!!

I imagine that would do it Twist the handle and move!!!

That place is on of my bucket list to visit Twist the handle and move!!!

Humm That's all that goes to my shock is overflow lines from carburetor overflow... I gotta pull my tank to get at my fuel filter but maybe a cracked fuel line from pump to CARB's but you say your also seeing gas coming out of overflow tubes. Twist the handle and move!!!

Lol Hey I was being sarcastic too, but I have seen guy or girl on crotch rocket checking out there phones... I have thought about laying on Marie's horn once or twice but figured it would scare them and cause them to wreck!!

Sounds like fuel in overflow lines. Stuck float? Twist the handle and move!!!

Yeh the guy at AutoZone keeps trying to sell me platinums. I just keep telling the need the copper split fires back... I kid you all not I had flintstone c c c cor cor I mean chevette I would pull 30 -40 mpg in that car 10 bux in tank a week would get me all week long to work then some.. wished camera phones existed in 95... Twist the handle and move!!!

O yeh with 390 under the hood dual exhaust a hole 8 miles to gallon but she was so fun on them red dirt roads. Twist the handle and move!!!

Wow he just wants to rattle the memories away. I haven't had my Ford since 2000 and still find myself looking for another 74 with three on the tree.😥😥😭😭 Twist the handle and move!!!

Wow is there anything you didn't cover @cowpuc I'm guessing your feeling lots better.. hey take a gander at my carb question @cowpuc.. kind of same issue but... Nothing broke just a little bent.. but I gotta say you remind alot of a friend of mine. My guess you two prolly about same age. But he can be crack up and when he was working that brain of his o boy watch out.. speaking of which I need to get over to Illinois to see him... Gotta watch him tho he like sneaking rides in or on my vehicle's.. Twist the handle and move!!!

Sorry for you loss, she will be trully missed. :crying:

I have a guys name on the back burner but problem is I believe he had an 83 he told me he would sell me for 500 bux shipped. he did tell me he sold the tci off of it... Here is the Ebay Listing but like I said its an 83 http://www.ebay.com/itm/PARTING-Complete-83-Yamaha-Xvz12-Nice-Body-Work-Cases-Ecu-Dash-Pipes-10k-/142114051905?vxp=mtr

Wow are you testing one of them 2017 Ventures. I hear they got auto pilot. I hope you at least turned that on first.. I have rode at 60 with no hands but only for a few seconds to see if there was any shakes.

I figured that part came out but just don't know how it does. I planned to just use at the very edge of the Four way and none in the hole. Just debating on what to go with because I hate fighting that tube to the Air Box!!! I will let it set overnight then put gas in it and see if the seal holds before I put the Air Box back on.

Didn't anyone see the tiny label that says hand wash only?

When I went out after posting this to pull the fuel lines off the four way came right out. The red tinted sealant stuff was brittle and came right out. This picture is one I found on Ebay and just circled the piece that was leaking I've got it cleaned up. I was gonna clean it up better with a q'tip and Rubbing Alcohol. I have found several different things that with stand fuel. Just trying to figure out the best way to go and like you say Hope for the best. I have found many Issues like this but mainly pertaining to the VW Bugs going up in flames because of a pressed in Fuel inlet on their carbs. Thanks Greg

That almost has to be it on the repairs I have seen. Although the ones I seen were just either filler or to hold a bolt in.

Now that is awesome.. Never thought I would see that set up on a bike!!

I wonder if that is what they used to seat them in the first place cause what was still left on mine had a red shade to it.

Ok the fore way is not leaking it is leaking from where it seated in the carburetor. Is there any sealant to put back in there and get it to seal back up.

As I look at this I can't help but wonder... This is just a shot in the dark here but.... What I would try would be some how find a hose clamp to fit around that and use the Jb weld.. to fill in. and around the clamp. I don't Know what kind of clearances you have there. So this is just a thought to give it some extra support. I Have seen aluminum repair on something like this.. But just don't know how the repair was done. What about filling this hole in with led that you use for sinkers? I would definatley try it... I just would not give up on this bike. I am beginning to wonder if that's why I keep trying with my Bike over and over.. Because it is a challenge for me and I know the end result will be a damn good bike. I would also maybe call a aluminum block repair shop and see if they will devoulge any information with you.. just my thoughts
