I have flat slide carburetors on my bike (1992 water-cooled gsxr600). I had the tank fuel valve fail on me in July and replaced it with a Pingle (on/off) valve. THe bike ran great on 8/30 at BHF until the 6th section when it started leaking fuel from the air vent (marked as 81 on the diagram). Needless to say, I was pretty upset and missed the last two sessions. I dont know if the tank valve had anything to do with it or some crap got in and is making the float stick or the floats are punctured. the strange thing is that the right air vent leaked at the track (between 3 & 4) and when I turned on the fuel at home the left one leaked (between 1 & 2). I know that a lot of you have moved to fuel injection and I don't blame you, but I thought I'd check before I take it apart...below is a diagram of the carburetor (I'm not sure if it is the exact same model but it resembles it pretty good)
The bike was jetted and dyno-tuned by Matt (MD racing) in June and it pulled strong and smooth 95 hp's @ the wheel.
