Leaking Petrol
I fitted my scottoiler to my curvy a couple of days ago and now my bike is leaking petrol from the pipe that comes down the right hand side of the bike (looks like a breather pipe) any ideas why this would be
all i can think of is that it is something to do with the pipe i had to cut for the vacuum for the scottoiler? Any ideas cant afford to be loosing petrol at £1.20 a litre!!!! |

Re: Leaking Petrol
Float height possibly. No idea why a scottoiler would cause this.
