KZ 750H Carb help

1981 KZ750 LTD

Its running good starting good and seems good idle

But I have a carb small leak

The 2nd one over right side is leaking...and dripping onto the motor... the bottom 4 phillips serews that hold the float bowl on...2 of them have a gas drop that builds up on them and then drops.

I called the bike shop and they want 300.00 to rebuild the carbs 100.00 for the kist and 200.00 labor.

I dont think they need rebuild it runs to good.

Could it just be that gasket on the float bowl?

I cant get a screw driver on the bolts to make sure they are not just loose.

Maybe its just that gasket...I hope

It can be really difficult to see where gas may be leaking out of or around a carb. Use a flashlight and see if the gas is coming from higher up - like where gas enters that carb, If it is one of the center two carbs then it might be coming from one side of the Fuel T inlet
Is this happening when the bike is on center stand or on the side stand ?
It could be the bowl gasket. If the carbs are Keihins then the gasket is more of a big O ring and they can go bad. Dont know if yo can get the gasket / O ring separate but they do come in the rebuild kits from Z1 Enterprises.
If it happens on the centre stand and it is the gasket then the next question is why is the fuel level in the bowl that high?
You may have to take the carbs off and troubleshoot yourself. Dont worry. It's not rocket science and there are lots of people here who can help.
