johnnydudeuk Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 sorted you dont have a ebay link for it do you Just a thought, could you not find a bolt of the right size to bung up the pipe to stop it leaking? I did this on a unused vacuum hose on my supermoto once and it worked a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about this myself, but by the time the bolts in, there's petrol all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 You could put the front wheel up on the work bench (Workmate vice is best)...assuming it would leak out of the fuel cap like that... But I really think the extra in-line tap is your best option. Best of balance. Neo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky dicky Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Dead easy. When you pull the pipe off the carb squeeze the pipe and it will obviously stop the fuel coming out. I just push a philips screwdriver into the end of the pipe and job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
