Default Re: My engine troubles....response from seller..

I must have gotten lucky everything on my kit except for the add on stuff was fine. The engine if I had assembled it right would have been perfect. It was just the other stuff that was crap.

Oh just for the heck of it, I stored my bike in the shed a couple of days. I had put on a new section of gas line that I bought. Also the clear plastic type. When I turned the gas on it leaked like water from a tap. It had stretched outside for some reason. It must have done it before my last ride because my clothes had smelled of gas. I suppose it was the gasoline spray blowing back. I picked up some black rubber gas line and forced it onto the carb and tank. It seems to have done the trick. If you buy new gas line don't waste your money on the fish tank kind.
