after riding my bike the gas fumes starts stinking up my house. any ideals to get rid of gas fumes or at least lower the smell of it?
That's a good idea to do anyway because if you get into a situation where you can't ride for a few weeks or so you don't want that gas in there to gum up the carb, I've seen carbs get gummed bad enough that they need to be disassembled and cleaned from sitting in as little as 3 weeks (on rare occasions) but it usually happens when someone puts up their motorcycle for the winter and forgot to drain the carb. It's just a good habit to get into either way.One option.... Before you shut it down, close the petcock at the tank and let the engine burn off the gas in the float bowl.. it might take a minute, but that should help.
A sheet won't stop the gasoline fumes from collecting someplace where they might find an ignition source. It doesn't take much if the mixture is right. Unplugging an electrical device could cost you your home, maybe your life. This isn't just theory, sir. It is a fact.i dont have a garage but the smell can somes be strong so i put a sheet over to try to protect it from spark & to keep try to keep the fumes down.
worst case scenario, grab a jerry can, they have caps and won't vent (they have a rubber seal). When you're done your ride, empty your tank into the jerry can and run the bike until the carb is emptyI store the gasoline tank outside but the bike is inside near the door covered in a sheet. i live in a apartment so i have no backyard or garage. How can i keep my apartment safe from gas leaking from my bike? only place i can store bike is in my place
just use the fuel line going to your carb. Turn the valve off, disconnect the hose from the carb, stick it in the jerry can, turn the gas valve back on until the tank is donewhat can i used to drain the gas out my tank on my bike? like what can i buy to drain the gas out?
