petrol leak
just stared the zxr after 3 weeks of sitting there and there is a petrol leak coming from the fuel pump area it was dripping every where. not sure if a rubber hose could have split ? anyone had this before

Re: petrol leak
could well be a perished hose mate, mine had gone by the fuel tap so just nipped the end off.

Re: petrol leak
just striped the fuel lines down checked them all and they are fine no splits and cleaned up nicely with some wd40 so i put it all back together minus the rubber harness that hold the pump in place started the bike up and its pi##ing out of the pump right on the join down the middle so the seal in the pump has gone any one ever had a fuel pump fail like this  before  
 
thnks for any help kev
