SOURCE: Water leaks from tube at the bottom of fridge for water dispenser only

If it is a plastic compression fitting you can tighten each one a little(careful not to tighten them too much cause they can strip out) Use a small crescent wrench with a back up wrench.

SOURCE: bike leaks gas from a tube between the carbs

Either the float is stuck or the gas set up sticking the float valve in the open position. The best fix is to take the carbs off and apart, but if you are not easy with that, sometimes Seafoam in the tank will dissolve the old gas if ti's not too bad

SOURCE: gas leaking from hose that is under tank that is not for gas flow

is it an overflow from the carb? gas will only be in one of 2 tubes and they are the fuel line from the tank and the carb over flow. unless you have an electronic fuel pump then tubes go from tank to pump to carb. if its coming from the overflow then you are getting too much fuel into the carb float chamber. you may have a sticky float. thy getting some Berrymans B12 fuel additive and putting double the doseage in the tank. run engine til hot then leave it to stand overnight. this should break down any gum/varnish that has built up in the system

has this been in storage thru winter?

SOURCE: carb leaking

You have a carb float stuck open. Turn off the gas and drain the carb. Next, turn the gas back on and sharply tap the float bowl with the plastic handle of a screwdriver as the fuel bowl refills. The goal here is to vibrate the float to free it up. If doing this process a couple of times does not free the float I would remove the carb and clean it with a spray carb cleaner. Be sure main jet is clear. Clean the air filter then re-mount carb.

Next Remove the water trap bowl at the bottom of the petcock, (gas valve). Dump it, clean it and re-mount it, ( not all bikes have a water trap bowl ). Install an inline fuel filter. Turn the gas on, wait a moment for the float bowl to fill with gas then give it a try.

How long since the carb was serviced? Has the bike ran properly since the service?

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

SOURCE: Gas leaking from bottom of carb on 90cc ATV

yes there is a tube that goes on it. It hangs straight down about an inch or two past the botom of the 4 wheelers frame. It is for a overflow of gas, which is usally caused by either dirt in the carb holding the float to high and allowing the gas to just run straight thru and out the bottom of the carb or a bent or maladjusted float setting. But since you said it just started, i would suggest this. I have fixed many and many bikes by simply removing the carb bottom and cleaning it with carb cleaner. It onlty takes a small piece of dirt between the float needle to keep the needle from making a good seat in the carb. Clean it well Please be carefull and keep the carb well away from your face as to not get any blowback of cleaner in your eyes(IT BURNS) This should fix your probblem

Problems with exhaust tube comeing from carburetor is leaking gas four wheeler dies with I open the throttle wide open

There is no "exhaust tube" on a carb. if you mean the overflow tube at the very bottom of the carb, then you need to disassemble the carb and clean here(and everywhere else too while you've got it apart) this will most likely fix all of your problems.

1998 honda aero VT1100C3. Fuel leaking fromthe bottoom of the bike. There is a cylinder shaped object right under the bike that fuel if coming from or around it. What could that be?

Where exactly is it coming from. Easiest way is to clean up the bottom and try and follow it up. The carbs have hoses that gas will leak from if there is a problem with them. A stuck float valve will cause your overflow tube to drip gas when the petcock is on. Also, if your gas tank is overfilled or on a hot day, sometimes gas can come out of that overflow tube as well. Figure out exactly where it's coming from first. Or take a picture, that will help. If it is the carb overflow tube give the carbs a good whack with a plastic handled screwdriver (a big one) and that may release the stuck valve and allow it to do its job, which is closing off fuel. Other than that, the only other cylindrical thing I can think of would be the brake master cylinder, which would also drip a clear-ish liquid, that resembles gas, but doesn't evaporate at all. It is essentially hydraulic fluid. I hope this helps.

if it is leaking from one of the drain tubes coming from the carb it could very will be the float is stuck or the needle on your float is not seating correctly and is causing it to flood the carb and leak out the overflow tube(s)

How do you start a Honda xr50?

Turn the fuel valve to ON.
Close the choke on the carb.
Kill Switch to Run Position
Hit the foot start lever 2-3 times.
Should fire right up unless it was put away with old gas still in it.
