I have a fuel tank with a fuel tap just like that (with the nut/screw fixing to the tank) I have completely stripped the paint and there are no holes in the tank, repainted it 3 times now because the fuel leaks out of the tap connection and ruins the paint work again. I have bought a brand new OEM replacement tap, filter and o-ring seal. Im slightly hesitant to put it on incase it damages the oring.(cant seem to find the one that fits without buying a new tap?!?) My question is, what are the things to look out for when servicing that area? Thanks in advance.

Can I take the bottom part of the carb off and replace the gasket without removing the whole thing from my bike? I have 1975 Honda CB750 and it appears that the 1st carb is seeping a little bit. Not sure exactly from where, but the side of the carb will get wet from gas and occasional a drop or two will end up on the engine below. I've had a couple mechanics tell me not to worry about it, but it seems like something I should deal with.

I have got a Yamaha Yzf R15 sport bike and I'm getting gasoline smell every single time I start her up. There has been a significant drop in mileage and I'm guessing that the culprit is cracked fuel lines. My bike is fuel injected and being a sport bike, everything is behind the fairings. Could you possibly make a same video on sport bikes???

Can you try and explain to me why whenever I move my dirt bike petrol leaks from the outsides of the petrol cap ?? Seems that it’s such a simple but uncommon problem there are no videos about it, should I simply buy another petrol cap or is it because my tank is too full ?

ATTENTION READ THIS, another problem he did not mention that is very easy to fix is the float getting stuck, all you have to do is hit the float bowl with a screwdriver/hammer a few times. Try that before buying anything always works for me

If your fuel valve does not have an OFF position but instead has a PRI or PRIME position, READ THIS BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW THIS VIDEO'S INSTRUCTIONS. There's something this video doesn't cover, and it can result in serious damage and injury. It's downright irresponsible to NOT cover this. When the video talks about shutting the fuel off on the valve, it shows putting the valve in the middle position, marked "off". This is fine, if there's an off position. But what if your valve has one marked "PRI" or "PRIME" where the OFF is on the valve in the video? Well... DON'T SET IT TO PRIME. Instead, LEAVE IT in the ON position. See, here's the thing. If the valve has an off position, the fuel is fed into the carburetor by gravity and gravity alone. That is, any time it's set to ON or RES, fuel will flow if there's anywhere for it to flow too. However, if it has a PRIME setting, then in the PRIME position, the fuel will flow like with the other type if it's set to ON or RES. However, with a PRIME setting, if it's set to ON or RES, the fuel will ONLY flow if there is vacuum. With a valve that has a PRIME setting, there are two hoses that attach to the valve. The fuel line and the vacuum line. When the engine is running, the pistons moving creates a vacuum. Using a vacuum line attached to one of the vacuum nipples on the carburetor(s) that goes to the vacuum nipple on the valve, the resulting vacuum is transmitted to the valve and causes the valve to release fuel. Unless there is vacuum, no fuel will flow in the ON or RES positions. Because of this, the carburetor bowl will eventually dry out if the valve is not left in the PRIME position. This has the benefit of not wasting fuel and also limits varnishing of the carburetor bowl and needles. However, it means that if the engine is not run for a sufficient length of time, the carburetor bowls will be bone dry and the engine will not start. Running the starter motor WILL cause some fuel to flow into the carburetors, but it's just as likely to wear out your battery and starter motor. This is what the PRIME setting is for. It allows fuel to flow into the carburetor without a vacuum. So what you would do is set the valve to PRIME for 5 minutes before you attempt to start the motorcycle. This gives sufficient time for the fuel to fill up the bowls and you'll be able to start it with a lot less cranking. Once it's started, it's a good idea to set the valve back to the ON or RES positions. So as you can see, if you have a vacuum actuated valve, then the ON or RES position is functionally equivalent to OFF when the engine is not running. You can however install a shut off valve in the line so that it won't get fuel even when the engine's running, but why though?
