    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    See now you're making me think I should not try the leak stopper, I was going to spring for whatever was deemed best, but I was also skeptical about the product being able to do what it says on the tin without side-effects so I figured I would ask. As far as doing the work myself, I do have a...

    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    Sadly they pretty much do, working on things with spark plugs has never been a passion of mine and my skills reflect that. If the snake oil isn't going to hurt to try I'd like to, because otherwise I'm going to be paying someone to do the work for me (rather than risking a pile of Buell-branded...

    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    Update: Got the carb back from the rebuild, put everything back together over the weekend along with fresh oil and filter. Went for a test drive yesterday, it's still leaking. As soon as the engine gets up to temp the leak starts (I pulled over after a couple miles to check and found it was...

    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    I'm pretty rigorous about the petcock, and per Barrett I did arrange a test for that (grabbed an old painter's cup with lid and cut a small X in lid and stuffed hose through), as of yesterday there's still no gas in the cup and that's been sitting since Wednesday.

    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    Thanks for the quick reply! The petcock refers to the fuel shutoff valve which is mounted to the bottom of the tank? If so I believe that is working properly... I just had the tank off the bike for a couple days (I put a couple boards across a large drain pan to keep the weight off of the...

    Stumped (Oil leak, level, gas contamination)

    Sorry in advance for the slightly longwinded post, at this point I'm so confused that I don't know for sure which details are relevant so I'm trying to summarize everything: I bought a 2001 Blast this spring, it was low miles (650) so I hoped I wasn't buying "a project" as my experience level...

    Carb Rebuild Kit?

    Anyone have a source for a carburetor rebuild kit for the Blast? So far I've only found one site (buellsterparts) and they're out of stock/may not be the right one. I'm a total noob but I'm getting lots of gas entering my oil so I'm guessing the carburetor isn't working properly in some...
