The vent line often dribbles fuel out, both when riding and when stopped. It is intermittent, but often enough to be very annoying and dangerous as well. Also enough to affect mileage. It seems there is pressure going back up the fuel line somehow. I've loosened the fuel cap when it happens, and it stops, but only until the cap is tightened again.
This is the sled with the factory primer installed, and I see some thread references to this being a possible culprit, but primer is between the pressure side of the fuel pump and the carbs, I cant see how that could allow any pressure back into the tank. I've pulled it and it seems to work and the valve is tight so appears to be good anyway. I put a clamp on the lines to it and the problem persists.
Sled only has 3000, 2500 by me.
Could it be blowback somehow from the fuel pump? Is there a backflow valve in the fuel line or pump which is supposed to prevent this? I don't see anything unless in the pump of fuel shutoff valve.
Thanks everyone
