Background - 97 bone stock powder special 2600km. I've owned the sled for two years that have been trouble free.
Last year after summerizing it (I store it in our garage), I noticed a gas smell after a week. I checked the around it and in the engine - couldn't see any obvious signs of gas pooling so I figured it must be a freak thing. I could smell it everytime the garage had been shut up for awhile (overnight). I checked the gas gauge every once in awhile and it seemed like it was dropping.
I siphoned most of the gas out of it and the smell went away (there was still some left in the tank).
I filled it up before riding last weekend and now its sitting in my garage and the gas fumes are back.
So, before I go ripping things apart, does anyone know of problem locations for gas leaks on this sled? Best way to track down a small gas leak?
Thanks.
