Carb warming pipe leaking curse!!!!!
-
So I brought a bike a good few months ago and nothing I done would stop the warming pipes from leaking so I gave up and planning on throwing a dt or 85 engine in it but now I'm having the same problem with my dt any of you came across this and the cap on my expansion tank keeps shooting off!
-
Head gasket mate. Which would explain why the carb warming pipes won't seal, as they would be the first place to let out the induced pressure.
-
@Mightyman I seem to have fixed it just a case of some decent clamps but not ridden it yet so fingers crossed
-
@declan If you expansion cap is shooting off, I doubt the underlying issue has been solved. You may be burning coolant in the long term.
@Mightyman do I put coolant in the expansion tank or does it go from the rad when cooling?
-
With the bike completely cold, fill up the radiator, then fill up the expansion tank between the min and max marks.
@Mightyman thanks!
those but mine is looped so it bypasses the carb and they leak where they slide on to the head even with new clips etc
