Look at the entire area around your fuel line (Frame and body). You are looking for fuel residue from a possible pin-sized hole in your line.   Ian Soady (Iansoady) New Member Username: Iansoady Post Number: 3 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:50 am:    I had similar and it was the fuel filter which sprang a pinhole leak. As it's under pressure it goes everywhere!!! (washed all the waxoyl off...) See other posts here re fuel filter.   Kinnie van Eeden (Yenza) New Member Username: Yenza Post Number: 16 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 11:11 am:    If it was cooked gas I would take cover!! ;>) Regards, Kinnie www.yenzatours.com
