Re: 2002 sv 650 fuel tank problem
Any update on this?Did your pipe within a pipe stay fuel tight or was it just a temporary fix?I ask because BB juniors curvy leaked a load of fuel yesterday and I fear he may have the same problem.

Re: 2002 sv 650 fuel tank problem
If they leak randomly then stop it can be carb floats..

Re: 2002 sv 650 fuel tank problem
Yes I didnt catch it "in the act"of leaking,just a strong smell of petrol.Bike was standing in a pool of water (from all that rain)so couldnt see where anything had come out.Would the carbs still overfill when the engine was off?I thought they required inlet vacuum to open the fuel tap,and power to pump the fuel.Or can an open float chamber siphon fuel anyway?

Re: 2002 sv 650 fuel tank problem
Nah can't siphon it but the vacuum fuel taps don't always close immediately, and they can flow a lot of fuel.
