So I finally get the money and the parts needed to get my bike running again after two years of sitting in the garage.
I drained the tank with a siphon hose to get the 2 year old bad gas out, then put in 2 gallons of fresh gas.
I hooked up the new battery, turn the key, and hit the start button.
That's when I look down and see fuel draining from this hose....
It was stuffed under the tank mount crossbar, not hooked up to anything, the open end pointing down toward the underside of the battery compartment.
If I turn the petcock to PRI it leaks fuel endlessly non-stop. If I leave the petcock in the ON position, it only leaks when I hit the start button.
Where did this fuel line come loose from, and would it be something that could happen by itself, or would it require some outside "assistance" (a.k.a. deliberate sabotage) for it to come loose like that???
Now there's fuel residue all over the place which I hope won't be a problem when I can finally get things running again. I really don't feel like turning into a rolling fireball
