The right carb floater case leaks at unusual times; it does not happen everyday, nor even every week. However, over the weekend it leaked (about 2 drops a minute) for a day. Looking at the right fuel petcock (which is always off becasue I use the left side) it was off, but appeared to be sweating. Well, it was leaking. I turned it "off" in the other direction and this appeared to stop the leak from there.
I guess my questions are:
Have you experienced the leak?
Should I try to replace the petcock (if so, how much $$ and trouble is that)?
So, I am not sure if the leak is a result of the petcock along or if there are other factors involved, what should I look for?
Thanks.
