For a "simple" test you could use a longer 8mm ID hose and connect the carb coolant supply and return ports together bypassing the carb lines, connections fittings and O rings. Wash the bike down to get rid of residual coolant and then start it to warm up, dry off, see if you still have a leak. Assuming you dont, you have two choices, leave the newly installed and routed coolant "jumper" line, find and fix the leak, |
i think the leak is coming from the carb to carb line i circled can i just clamp the two lines running to the carbs for a quick temp fix ?? until i can get some new hoses.
