leak

Hey guys I have a fuel leak below the carbs in that housing thats in the center of the v of the engines heads does anyone know what this part is called ? It goes accross the engine from left to right. I assume its for cooling. But is this a coolant block? Leak could be comming above it. Also the...

couldnt find anything about this previously on the forum. is it common for this plug to leak? and is there any trick to replacing it? both the plugs on the right side started leaking a couple weeks apart.

Ok I'm having that coolant leak for a while now but it's really getting worst. After searching in the forum I saw some buddies who got the same issue. Just to be sure, do I need all the parts described by mark here ? Thanks

Woke up to find a puddle of leaking fluid under my bike (picture below). I noticed that there is coolant leaking from the piece that the radiator hose attaches to (picture below). What do I need to fix this? I see that it is only two bolts to separate this piece to get to an O ring or gasket...

I'm at wits end with this oil leak problem. Here are the symptoms. No oil on the ground. No visible signs of a leak anywhere on the engine. No smoke from the exhaust pipes. I rode about 5-6 hundred mostly highway miles. I was down about a qt of oil. I'm willing to try anything. I'm wondering if...

My 86 Vmax just clicked over 40k and coolant level in manifold keeps dropping filling overflow tank. With bike running air bubbles in coolant, oily film too. Bike has been have cooling issues the whole time ive owned it. compression checked it after warming it up, 165-170 all cylinders. kinda...

My Vgas bike runs fine after I purge the air from high spot in the tubing after the pump. But after a 1 hour ride, my clear fuel filter after my pump and air purge tee is almost empty yet I don't have a fuel leak.:ummm: My first step will be to replace the fuel tubing from the tank to the...

so I have found an exhaust leak right where my slip on super traps hook up to my stock stuff. is there a gasket I replace for this issue?

Well, the good news is that the leak isn't from the stator cover, after replacing the gasket and sealing the wires, it is dry all the way around the cover. So is the cover 2, but my newly installed shift shaft seal is leaking like a sieve. There is also a lot of oil around the neutral switch...

Last year I had to pull my shifter shaft out from the clutch side to get a screw out from the case that i lost when doing a oil pump upgrade. Now Im leaking oil from the seal were the shaft exits on the clutch side ( were the shaft runs externaly for a few inches) im wondering if that seal...

i was changing my oil today when i noticed on the right side directly under the rear exhaust there is a 6mm allen clamp that had oil on it. my bike only has 7k on it so it does surprise me that i would have an oil leak that high up on the motor. i cleaned off the area as best as i could and...

So I had to take a 45 min trip down the interstate today and when I got where I was going I noticed I had some white crap all over the front of the water pump cover. It almost looked like I had thrown liquid wax up off the road somewhere. This is the second time I have seen this now. The first...

I suspect that one of my carbs are leaking into one of my cylinder when it sits Symtoms 1.when i pull the plug in one cylinder its wet even after sitting a day 2.my gas millage is poor only getting about 85-90 miles before light comes on 3. the fuel pump pumps really long after just sitting a...

Hey guys, is there an "easiest" way to get to shifter shaft seal to replace it? Or a quick fix that will get me through the season? I just got all the bugs worked out of my carbs and went out for a satisfying asphalt rip. Upon my return home I saw a drop fall from my shifter shaft. I took...

I took my Max out for a ride the other day and stopped by my parents house. My Pop took it for a spin and when he came back I noticed coolant leaking out of the P hole in the bottom of the water pump housing. After further inspection I noticed scratches and scrape marks on the water pump housing...

My '97 incessantly leaks oil from the stator cover. I've had the cover off and on again three times purely trying to correct a nagging drip. This last time I removed both covers and spent probably 2 hours meticilously cleaning ALL the residue off both the cover and engine faces. The stator and...

I did the old hot rodders trick of spraying carb cleaner on a running motor to listen for idle changes,nothing happened up around the carbs or rubber boots but when I sprayed underneath the vboost manifold (in the actual v of the engine)instantly the rpms dropped and the engine almost died.What...

ok, trying to figure out what seals the tube at the insertion point into the block - cannot see any seal or o-ring listed on the diagram. :bang head: the drain tube below the radiator - where it inserts into the block is leaking. anyone have any ideas or has anyone replaced this tube or had...

New here and have some issues with my bike. Right front (#4?) carb is flooding. Bike is stock , 20k, sparks are new. I was going for :"if it ain't broke don't fix it". Now its broke so I need to fix it. I downloaded a manual on line and in several places in it the main jet size/type was...

Recently acquired 92 VMAX with an oil leak, coming up from the bottom somewhere, or so I thought. So I took it to the car wash, degreased it, and washed it down really good. Bike was on a trailer so I didn't start it, just took it home. Went out the next morning and it appears the oil leak...
