My 1981 CB750F, parked for a couple of months, my grandkids coming for a visit and a ride, pull the F out turn on the gas tap and each carb is pissing on the ground. Love tap the bowls, 2 stop, 2 still leaking. Dammit. Not enough Seafoam in the gas I suppose. Just needed to rant. Cliff.

Did you run it dry when you parked it, like I've been telling folks, or years?

I can't remember if I did but I did run the others dry yesterday. I'll etch that advice in my memory. Cliff.
