Last night I bought a '95TW. It's the first of it's kind of bike I've ever owned (dual sport/off-road). Looks great, runs good, puts a smile on your face - all that good stuff.
However, when I woke up this morning, there was a puddle of gas under the bike...
I checked the petcock and it was in the off position. However, I was still getting a V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W drip from the carb drain tube. So, I'm assuming in part I need to replace/rebuild the petcock as it clearly isn't shutting off the flow of gas. Is the petcock a known weak point? Are there better replacement options to the stock valve?
Next, I need to determine if I just have a leaky carb drain screw or if my floats aren't sealing properly. Any suggestions on how to determine that? Or am I better off just replacing/rebuilding the float needle valve and drain screws...
Thanks in advance!
