[QUOTE="FjrVfr, post: 531928, member: 3257"] A month or so ago I posted in "Other Bikes" about a fuel leak on my VFR after adding Stabil in anticipation of winter. While tearing it apart I discovered that all four clamps that secure the insulator/carb connections (do you still call that a throttle body?) were backed completely off as if for servicing. Clearly they hadn't retightened them after carb service two years earlier. Why is it so damned difficult for mechanics to button up afterwards? I'm not sure I'll ever be able to hand over my keys to a shop again. Thanks for the update, Eric. Best of luck with it. [/QUOTE]
