Bottom end of carb is leaking all over apparently while I'm riding and staining the motor. Smells like gas when parked.

 

You didn't ask a question, but rather just made a statement... are you bragging?

Seriously, that is one ugly carb. One of the ugliest I have seen. it's either leaking a ton, and/or been leaking for awhile....

If that were my bike...

I would remove the carb, completely disassemble it, and give it a thorough cleaning. You may consider borrowing or renting a sonic cleaner to get to all the passages in the throttle body. Short of a sonic cleaner, I would soak that carb body for a couple days in a good solvent, then with pipe cleaners and compressed air, clean out the passages as much as humanly possible. I would use emery cloth to clean up any stains in the throttle body and be sure the area where the slide operates is smooth and clean.

I would then reassemble it with all new wear parts: gaskets, o-rings, diaphragm, float valve, float, and probably even a new slide.

Here is a good reference for info and parts for the CV40 carb...

Of course, if you are just bragging about it leaking, staining the motor, and smelling like gas.... great job..!

 

Amazon has S&S Super E carbs starting at $350.00

 

If it were my carb I'd pull it off and throw it away. Then put an S&S on it.

 

If he throws it away, send it my way

 

I was definitely not bragging, lol. I think it's been leaking for longer than I realized and I'm finally getting around to fixing it. I really appreciate the input and I have plans to rebuild it. Other than that, it's a beautiful bike and runs great regardless of the carb leak. Thanks for the link also.
