First problem with a Harley. Teach me



The gas leaks from where the red arrow is pointing..
It leaks when I pull the throttle
I'm used to carbs but on metrics.. the whole air filter hanging to the right is a new thing to me. Any reason it's leaking? Anything I can tighten down?

 

Your accelerator pump diaphram is bad it will ahve to be replaced its a cheap fix its under the cover directly below your leak held on by the 3 screws. im thinking around 10 bucks to fix mine.
you will need the diaphram, spring, the little oring and if possibly new screws

 

oh there's a little diaphram in there? I'll have to find my bikes maintenance and parts sheet. Thanks a bunch!

This is a better deal with all you need.

 

Bought one! thank you

Also took the old one out to make sure, it's pretty torn.

 

probably with the ethanol in our gas those diaphrams wont last near as long as they used to you got it apart it will be easy to put back togethor.
