Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2007 10:19 am
First off im fairly new to the motorcycle community so hopefully this isnt to hard to fix...
Well i have a 2001 V star 650 classic
one day about a week ago i pulled it out to go across town and i started it went inside came back and it died.
i checked fuel and it was about half full so i started again left to get something came back and same it was dead ...
so i started and i could smell fuel ... i drove it around the block and there was no loss of power and the fuel smell was gone so i hopped on the freeway and road 30 miles without a problem..then i got to a stop and the bike started to smell real bad of fuel and idle dropped until it died..i pulled off to the closest place...as i idled it fuel was comeing out of a line underneath the carb about 6 inches...at idle it was spewing out when i reved it up it goes away .. so i dont know how to proceed please help a new bike rider thanx guys
