I doubt this is the source of your problem. The only way any gas is going to leak there is if one or more of the float bowl drain screws is not fully seated. Are they...?

Hi John,
That's good point.
I can't check right now because the bike and carbs are at friend's shoppe, but I plan to work on my bike tomorrow and I'll let you know. I didn't plan to rebuild the carbs but I will do some cleaning.

Last night disassembled and checked all 4 float bowls - they were (almost) perfectly clean. O-rings are in good condition. Float bowl drain screws are also good.

afan, while you're in there make sure to check the floats for any leakage. And, a very tiny piece of debris can get stuck between the float needle and its seat and prevent it from sealing. pull off each float/needle and inspect the tip of the needle for any debris. Then check the seat that it fits into and make sure its clean too.
I had a similar issue. When I sat on the bike it put pressure on the line , or the clamp, to the fuel filter and somehow leaked. When not on the bike it did not leak. Once the fuel lines were changed, clamped, and re-routed, the problem was fixed.

Also, can't find part number for the o-ring on drain screw. I want to replace them too.
P.S. What the number 1 in the square box means?

it means you get both the o-ring and the gasket with one part number, so that answers your other question about the o-ring part number as well.Also, can't find part number for the o-ring on drain screw. I want to replace them too.

Wow, I've not seen that pic before. Looks like an ST1100. Is there a story behind that?In researching the need to replace the upper to lower fuel tank hose on my ST13,,, I found this photo. Then I ordered the hose and clamps !! Cat'
I believe the story was,,, that you should replace the inter-tank (between upper and lower) connection hose,, every time the tank is tilted for service. This seems like a lot,,, but I guess there were incidents,,, and my fsm does indeed say that. In my case,,, I don't know the age of the hose,,, or if it has ever been changed at all. My tank has now been tilted up for about 3 months, while I do winter maintenance. Given that the hose may very well be deteriorated,, cracked and age/heat hardened,, even though it looks good,, better play safe this time around. Cat'
I meant the story behind the burned ST1100.
I am pretty sure that I remember it being attributed to a leak in the hose between the upper and lower tank ?? Do ST1100's not have those ?? Cat'
I meant the story behind the burned ST1100.
They do not.
Then I stand corrected, Dean. Thank you. My knowledge of the ST1100 is pretty limited compared to all I have learned about the ST1300. Cat'
