Default Fuel Flow

I have a 91 Electra Glide. After the 1st good ride of the season it has developed a drip on the vent line off the carb. I have the petcock shut off and fuel drips continuously, I am thinking my petcock is finally trash. I had the carb rebuilt and jetted last year and has been problem free till this week.

Any ideas would be greatly welcomed

Thanks
Ken

Sounds like the petcock is not shutting off and your float bowl valve is leaking a bit. You can get by with the slightly leaking float bowl, but that should be fixed too. Get a Pingle petcock. They are worth the extra money. Cheapest I have found them is at Jireh.
