Is It Dangerous to Start a Motorcycle with a Gasoline Leak?

[TuckerAnn]

Dangerous, not recommended to continue driving. Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect, clean, and maintain the carburetor. Generally, it is advisable to have this done by an experienced professional mechanic. Frequently check, clean, or replace the air filter and fuel tank fuel filter. Avoid Unauthorized Adjustments: The fuel level in the carburetor float chamber is precisely adjusted before leaving the factory. Do not adjust it arbitrarily to avoid malfunctions (such as fuel leakage, black smoke, or poor fuel supply). Non-professionals should not adjust the carburetor idle screw (PS). When the Carburetor is Not in Use for an Extended Period: Drain the fuel from the float chamber to prevent gasoline from deteriorating and forming gum, which can clog the jets and fuel passages, leading to carburetor failure. When Cleaning the Carburetor: Do not use metal wires to poke or clean various jets or small passages. Use clean gasoline or a dedicated cleaning agent for soaking and cleaning, and blow out the jets and other parts with compressed air.
