leaky dells

[Morizzi]

Confused .....

    I was talking carburettors !?!

Sorry, the thread started that way and then it went to M/C's. From Drikko:

BTW I from reading past posts is the master cylinder on the RGS a 15mm? It doesn't say in the manual. I can measure it but don't want to pull it apart till I have the rebuild kit.

I happen to agree with you concerning Dellorto carbs and leaking, they shouldn't. I didn't pipe in on that issue as it had already been addressed but I don't live that far from Drikko and just happen to have a spare M/C that he could borrow until he sorted his.

Again, sorry for any confusion.

So yes there's overflow tubes on the bowl overflows and there's no fuel in them, so I think the float valve are fine and no fuel in the cylinders either. So it's definitely the seal. I'll replace the whole lot and see if it goes away.

Unless you do know that the seal is worn out, I still bet that this is your valves. The fuel comes only intermittently through the overflows. And no, Dell'Ortos don't leak.
