Have I got something wrong here? (Carb)

Post by sonnyhowell »

After noticing a greasy drip I had a look and noticed my Webber carb is very oily/greasy and dripping. Should I be worried?

Is there a crankcase breather pipe going to the pancake (black plastic cover on carb). Has it collapsed!

It doesn't look like the top of the carb is on properly, I think there should be a screw clip holding it in place.

Crankcase breathing into intake, oil condensing and running down the side ?

Clean the outside of carb with brake cleaner when the engine is cold.
