Morning fellow boggers yesterday i had the pleasure of working on my mate 50 step thru 
all for mate rates 
anyway he was complaining of the constant smell of petrol and the small droplets under the bike when e left it over night. I can vouch for the smell of petrol 
my garage is attached to the house and you good smell it in the kitchen, wifey not to happy 
Anyway having done his rear puncture it was a case of sorting the leak out so off with the carb. The petrol pipes had seen better days by the looks of them
It seams with a little attention to detail fitting the seal and putting the carb back together he failed to seat the seal correctly causing it to weep. (see pic below) Having establish what seamed to be the fault i placed the seal in hot water to soften it so i could push all the seal in the groove in addition using rubber the grease to help the seal.
