[QUOTE="holeshot, post: 398783, member: 17202"] I was at a moto track recently (Elsinore) and noticed that my gas tank was leaking when I stopped back in the pits. During that day and the also during the previous ride, my bike developed an intermittent misfiring problem. When an intermittent problem develops, it's usually ignition/electrical, but when I pulled the hot start out while it was running, the problem cleared up temporarily, which would indicate a carburetor/jetting problem. I was soooo confused. :silly: Thinking that the cracked tank and misfiring at the same time were no coincidence, I decided to soak the coil with gas while the bike was running, to see if I could recreate the problem. Nope, that wasn't it. I was going through the electrical/ignition with a meter looking for the problem and was almost resigned to buying a new CDI, when it hit me like a sack of bricks (not the CDI, a revelation). The gas tank was cracked at the far rear, near the air box, and raw gas was dribbling onto the filter whenever I squished the tank while riding (causing a rich condition). Good thing it didn't cut out when I went for that third gear jump..... :eek: [/QUOTE]
