I've got fuel leaking out of one of my right hand carbs from the bowl drain, which I assume is from fuel in that bowl getting too high and coming down through the tube. Also, one of my left hand carbs is leaking out the mouth of the carburetor, I think from the small jet there. Any ideas? Float valves look o.k. Should I raise the floats higher by bending the float tab? <p>Also, is there a rebuild kit for the petcocks? Mine leaks fuel (out the outlet) even in the on position. I have disassembled and cleaned it, to no avail. I think the diaphragm is just plain old.....<p>Thanks for any help.

Re: Help! - Leaky carbs
What level are your floats set at??? if to low they will leak out the over flow. There's a error in the service manual. Should be about 25mm to 26mm if I remember correctly.

Do you know where the rebuild kit is available? FromYamaha, or aftermarket? <p>Also, does it include the diaphragm, or just the outer disc and o-ring? <p>Thanks!
