Subject: VB: Fuel leak problems


Hi evrybody!
This mail, isn't from me, it's from Anders Berge.
There's some problem with his mail.

Hello @ owners and others!
Could anyone help me with this problem? 
After having driven my @ on the freeway for half an hour or more (=engine is
hot), when I parked the bike in the garage I noticed a havy smell of
gasoline. After lots of investigation for leaks I have found that the hose
coming from
the two carbs, and ends under the engine, is wet from gas. In bright sun
light you could see the gas "steam" from the hose. 
What could be the cause? 
The mechanic says the float level looks OK and that he has examined the
float valve needles and they seem to be OK. But I doubt. Could it be
something else? Is this a common problem?
