Hey guys I have a gas leak problem I was hoping for some advice on. So I have a Dax RT carb installed on my 2-stroke 2nd build. Love the carb's throttle response and added power but I am starting to have some leaking issues. Gas is now leaking from the carb and pooling just under it near the clutch arm.
The carb has been tightened as far as possible to the intake and permatex-ed where it clamps on the intake. There is no gas on the bottom side of the intake so I know where it is clamped is not what is leaking. However, the carb is still loose enough to turn slightly by hand. Has anybody else experienced these carbs loosening on the intake over time?
Anyway back to the leak. The bottom of the carb is definately where the carb is dripping from. I had read somewhere that some people slightly bend the float arm and seal up some area of the carb to fix this. I have not tried this and was hoping for more detailed instructions/ideas on how this is done. I have been shutting off the fuel valve after every ride to minimize how much is leaked but would like to fix the problem once and for all. Thanks guys!
