I did everything at last i changed the carburetor. With new carburetor after driving when I park after half an hour there is fuel drop on tip of drain tube end.

Great video. I encountered the same problem on a Kawasaki 900 on two carbs. I just slipped small fuel line over cracked copper tubes ( has to be a snug fit ) and cut tubing off at top. Has to be cut level with top of copper tube !! Worked perfect and it was a simple fix.

Thank you very much for another informative video. As an electronics hobbyist I am very pleased to see you using/recommending high quality tools such as Kester Solder and Weller irons. It shows your knowledge and professionalism once again!

Hi I had even worst problems with my drz 400e flat side carb the pipe just fell off so I got a replacement brass pipe from a train hobby shop and replaced it with new pipes with oem height. You did a great job as well. I have some tubes left just in case

These Honda carbs are really bad for cracking like this. I've had to repair a bunch of them for this reason. I have been using a thin brass sleeve with fuel compatible epoxy slid over the existing tube which has worked well. Another idea for you!

Nice tip. A guy on FB mentioned the same thing except soldering it in. I'll try that next time.

i have a honda carb with a leak in the sleeve as well, mine was unfortunately self induced, dropped the bowel when i took it off to clean the carb after letting it sit up all winter with gas in it . Could you expand on what your doing with the sleeve and where you are getting the sleeve from? thanks

@@mikesc7356 You should be able to find some brass/copper tube at a hobby lobby or hobby shop in various sizes. It doesn't have to be thick. I cut it to the same length as the cracked tube and then put a very light coat of marine jb weld on it before sliding the sleeve over it.

I think I might pre-heat with a heat gun to have the solder flow better.
@HTMR 4 жыл бұрын
I did with a torch and it was worse. Too much heat and other cracks that were soldered would open up again.
