carb leak at T
22 May 2011 13:29
hello, my carbs are leaking gas at the T section from the gas tank. I thought i read somewhere a long time ago that there is a quick fix for this using teflon tape or something.. i cant seem to find the thread. has anyone fixed this problem before?

I've also read that shrink tubing works. If mine was leaking I would just replace it while I had the carbs separated Z1E sells replacements. Ed
