Scott_J Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 If anyone on this site has experience with smooth bore carbs I need some help. I haven't run my Harley for 18 months or so. I thought I did all the correct work for long term storage but forgot to drain the float area. Even with shutting off fuel flow and running engine till it ran out of fuel I guess some fuel was there and upon start up I varnished the slow jet. I got that cleaned and reassembled everything today for start up. It was running in no time, BUT the exhaust pipes turned cherry red!!!!! Does this indicate an air leak from the gasket on the carb or is it something else? (I had the bike running with the slow jet plugged and nothing turned cherry red) Quote
