I have just finished replacing the stator on the Gold Witch and after getting things ready to fire up again number 1 carb started leaking gas pretty bad. It turned out to be a bad float bowl gasket. I got those in today and I'm ready to put the carb bank back in but I have had problems with gas leaking into the cylinders.
Normally that would be a problem with float adjustment. I have looked at the height again and all are at 15.5mm as the manual says. I'm not sure where else to go next to prevent dumping gas into the cylinders. My petcock was leaking some so I went ahead and ordered one from the local dealer and will get that in tomorrow. When I say leaking, I mean from the side of the petcock and as far as I know the shut off worked.
Any ideas before I put them back in?
