Title: Fuel leak
Post by: FXRNUT on December 14, 2019, 09:43:10 PM

Hi
I just stored my Stone Cold Blue FXR2 for the winter and noticed a bit of fuel "sweating" underneath the tank right over the carb. Can't see any noticeable leaks? 
Any suggestions?

Not much over there.  Make sure the probably 20 year old crossover line at the front of the tank isn't dry rotted and seeping allowing fuel to run back or that the vented gas cap doesn't have an issue and you're pushing fuel past the cap with a full or nearly full tank.
