Ever since I have owned Val and she has lived in the garage I have always noticed a bit of a fuel smell when entering the closed up garage. I played with the fuel cap filler seal as documented here and felt like I had achieved a positive result. I still noticed some smell but only on a really hot day (plenty of those here in sunny Queensland) so I wasn’t too concerned. I noticed lately a more pronounced smell and Val hasn’t been ridden for over a month :whip: :doh: and when I was having a sniff around I noticed one of the carby bowl drain/breather tubes was hanging off. I only tackled the LH side bank as it was accessible while the bike is on the wheel stand in the garage and one side was enough of a PITA.
The little short one was the rear LH carby and it was hanging off the carby bowl
New hoses installed
Tools used in the job including an old roll of gates vaccum tubing.
