I rode my Honda Pacific Coast PC800 motorcycle to work today. It’s been running well enough the last few months but I hadn’t really taken it on a long jaunt. As I was going through Sherwood, I started smelling gas. By the time I got to work, the bike was peeing out gas.
I disassembled the bike behind the office to try and fix the issue. A little premium gasoline and some seafoam, and I was able to get the float valve unstuck that was causing the float bowls to overflow and dump fuel out of the vent port on the back side of the carb. However, I can tell this problem is going to keep coming back. It’s time to search for a new carb. I’ve rebuilt this carb enough times that I’m getting sick of it.
