I guess I should drain the oil, remove the air box and clean and rebuild
the carb, new oil and air filter??
The airbox looks like a PITA to get off?
Can you direct me to a 'how to' on this specific chore. (yep, tried search
and got more than I can sift through)
I bought the bike, did an oil/filter change and rode it about twenty miles
to a gas station that sells non-ethanal gas. I added fuel but did not top it
it off, maybe 3/4 full. I rode it back home, oiled the chain and parked it
on the center stand on a sheet of cardboard to catch the drippings.
It stayed there for more than a week until yesterday morning when I
went to the garage to find the cardboard soaked in fuel. It was running out
the airbox drain tube.
I'd neglected to turn the fuel petcock off....... But, maybe it exposed an
issue I need to deal with anyways.
I picked up the bike for a friend to learn on later this summer after she
recovers from shoulder surgery, so I have some time to deal with it.
