Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted September 16, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2014 there are two pipes routed from the Tank ... one is overflow while other is a vent. the breather usually goes to the canister (if applicable) else straight out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 AnikMankar, I thought that even on bikes that did not have the EVAP canister, the vent tube still runs down the right side of the bike, across the front, and then into the tube stay on the left side of the bike. I have never been able to confirm this, but pictures such as the one you are showing above certainly make me see it that way. Does anyone know for sure?

Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted September 16, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2014 I dont have EVAP so the tubes goes all the way thru as per the image Anik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 16, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ahh, after manipulating my head better to get a better look, it is the positive battery cable to the stared. probably can't see t in the pic it's not leaking at the moment and is drying up, I can see that the leak is coming from higher up and leaks only when the engine is running. I believe I have an injector leaking. Mother Trucker!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well I found the source of the leak. Hard to see in a pic. The reflection is fuel puddling on the intake valves. This means the injector is bleeding down correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer AnikMankar Posted September 17, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 You may have to pull throttle body out to verify that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 David, My life sucks. So, should I... A. Send it back to the guy who serviced it? B. Try to fix it myself? C. Run it like it is and see if fixes itself?

Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 Does anyone know how the coolant hoses are SUPPOSED to connect to the wax unit? (2000 model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would definitely fix it. Not to a good idea to have fuel dripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yes, it is running fine other than the wax unit. I'm new with fuel injectors. I'm assuming they can easily be disassembled? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 you can replace the seals/cushions thats about it. You really don't disassemble them. You replace them or have them professionally cleaned. Thats it. They are pretty easy to remove. Don't live with dripping fuel, could lead to other conditions that cause you more problems.

Misspent Youth Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 So, fuel from leaky injector that's deposited on the intake valves is finding its way to the outside of the bike to manifest as a fuel leak? How is that happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well that's the thing, they just got back from a cleaning. Fixing one problem has created two more. It's disappointing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 did you replace all seals AND the cushions? typically the cleaning places don't give you every seal you need, just 2 of them i believe.........if you pull the injectors on an older bike you should replace the seals and cushions imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signal Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 if memory serves me right, you are not the first with this issue. Search up something along the lines of injectors leaking after cleaning. I believe Kaldek had this issue. I think he sent his injectors in for cleaning, and when they came back they were worse off! I think if you search his posts up you will find it, and I think he even mentions it in one of his youtube videos. He gives an explanation for what was going on there. I think in the end he had to replace them, and you could have a similar issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 The seals and seats including the "filters" inside them.were replaced. The cushions were not. I checked all the injectors for external leaks...no sighns of anything externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JeffInFranklinTN Posted September 17, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thank you very much. The guy who cleaned them wants me to call him. He guarantees his work and it sounds like he wants to help me with this. I will watch those videos for sure.

signal Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 if your injectors are hosed after cleaning, its not necessarily the injector guys fault. I think Kaldek explains things well in his video and posts. Used injectors are pretty cheap, but I would definitely have any used injectors re-cleaned and new seals for sure. I was hunting down fuel system issues and I must have replaced every damn thing I could think of: cleaned injectors, new seals and cushions new FPR new fuel rail seals (hell once your taking off the FPR etc may as well replace these) new fuel filter I am even going to remove my EVAP can, cap off the TB ports and re-route my vent hose. I really hope you get this fixed, no doubt its driving you crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
