fumes

[jordan_muirhead]

I was just wondering if its normal to smell strongly of gas after riding your trike, I always smell like gas fumes, not sure if this is normal or what would cause it

If your gas tank is leaking like you said in that other thread, then yeah I could see it lol

well, its always done that lol, the leakage just started recently, but it always leaves me smelling like gas, dont know why, it doesnt smoke or anything, and it bogs for a second at WOT

last review was, check your shut off valve and make sure your carb float overflow is not leaking
and then try to find your elusive tank leaks. Usually teeny tiny paint bubbles around the bottom seams and low spots in the tank.

They CAN drip onto the sparkplug you know so we can't condone your riding it this way.

Sometimes gas caps will splash leak past the cap gasket or oring and the vent from the cap can get stooopid too.

Didja see the thread I posted about helmets?
