side cases paint and petrol leak

[aaron]

OK moved my bike from one side of the workshop to the other to get my GSA out for a blast and put it on its side stand. When i got back there was a river of petrol over the floor. So abit of advice please.

1) The petrol was coming from the bottom of the carbs (@ the pipe nipple thingy) why would this be? the petrol was left on..

2) Should I have a pipe or tube on this nipple thingy?

3) Because the bike was on its side stand the petrol made its way to the bottom of the side case and has striped of my lovely paint work.. so should I repaint it or can this be powder coated when I'm leaving my 125LC frame and bits in...?

thanks Aaron

Thought it would be ok. Not sure whats happing with the carbs

Powder coat & PJ1 are both petrol proof, I found out the hard way too that normal paints no good

PJ1 is petrol proof, but not if it finds an edge as I found out when mine dripped petrol while i was away for a couple of days....
