#270075 rene (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 leaking carburator on a 2002 road star 7 Years, 11 Months ago   Hey everybody I'm an owner fairly new one at that of a 2002 road star midnight star. Sun is shinning and my carburator is pissing out fuel as soon as I turn the ignition on. Anybody have any hints   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #270078 silver_fox (User) I wanna ride!

That might pop it loose.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #270274 2paws (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:leaking carburator on a 2002 road star 7 Years, 10 Months ago   I am having the same problem with my 2007 Road Star with only 6200 miles on it. It only happens after the bike is good and warm. The first time it happened I had riden it for about 1.5 hours, shut it off then turned the key on about 15 minutes later to run into town and it started pumping fuel on the ground. I let it sit overnight and looked at it the next morning and I could not duplicate the problem while it was cold. I took the bike out for a couple hours, then the same thing happened. I rode it to work today (85 miles) with no problems. Still sound like a sticky float?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #270277 RubberDuck (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 237 Re:leaking carburator on a 2002 road star 7 Years, 10 Months ago   I feel your pain 2paws-my 07 is doin the exact same thing.stated 3 days ago   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #270279 2paws (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 10 Re:leaking carburator on a 2002 road star 7 Years, 10 Months ago   Maybe the planets were just alligned properly or some crap like that.

Took the breather off and it is coming from the back vent on the top of the carb. Tried tapping the bowl but no good ;-( Any you guru's out there have any ideas????   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #270299 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road...

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1904 Re:leaking carburator on a 2002 road star 7 Years, 10 Months ago   My '07's float was set too high from the factory. Never saw it leak out, but had idling issues, sooty plugs & tailpipes, the whole deal. Rejetted & set the floats at that time using this method. Easy to do & really worked wonders. Btw, there's also an aggravating problem that crops up on hot days. That being the gas heating up in the float bowl & the line between the jugs after it's run awhile, then parked, then restarted. That seems to be heat related & I plan to address that with a little insulation soon.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/04/02 18:28 By stinger.   http://s671.photobucket.com/user/jhurdle/library/?sort=6&page=1   The administrator has disabled public write access.
