FUEL LINES
bill, you would need to pull the carbs if the o-rings are leaking on the tubes between the carbs or if the fuel is coming out the overflow on any of the carbs which would indicate dirt or incorrectly adjusted floats or worn out needle valves and/or seats. Sometimes this can even cause hydraulic lock on a piston because the gasoline fills a cylinder and prevents the piston from rising due to the gasoline filled cylinder locking the piston. Even if the gasoline seeps past the piston rings into the crankcase it can still cause hydraulic lock under the piston if the crankcase fills with gasoline forcing you to drain and refill the crankcase with fresh oil after gas leak is repaired. Have a really close look and determine precisely where the spilled gasoline is coming from then come back and let us know so we can help you further. To simply replace the fuel delivery hoses you do not need to pull the carbs and replacing those hoses is not a big job at all.
