Hello,
I have a 2007 R50X, and after sitting this winter, the carb seems to be leaking. I see no drips for 24 hrs after driving it, but then I start to see slow drops of gasoline on the floor. It is also acting flooded when I try to start it up after letting it sit for a day and it takes a lot of cranking to get it started. I'm not an expert on carbs, so looking for a quick opinion on where the gas is coming from and what the potential issue is. I'm hoping to remove the carb and clean it this weekend and I'm sure I'll learn a bunch by doing this.
My other question is about the brass colored port on the bottom of the carb in the attached picture. It looks to be designed for a hose to be on it, but there is none. Can anyone tell me what this port is for?
Also, if the carb needs to be rebuilt, are there kits available for this? I have a tough time finding R50X parts online, so any info on a good source woudl be appreciated.
Thanks for the help
