Hi all, Ive just cleaned the fuel tank out on my KR1 after cleaning the Carbs out but now its leaking from the bolts that hold the fuel tap in. The two washers on the bolts look fine but when tightened its still leaking, any ideas???

did you place the plastic seals between the bolts and the tap ?

Yes mate, I didnt use new ones because the old ones arent crushed or out of shap

use some tread-sealing on the bolts.
is O-ring arround the tap surface still in good condition (and I mean : is it still sticking out on top of the surface) ? after a lot of time, they become harder and lose their flexability.

I have ordered a new tap rubber gskt and have got
hold of some thread sealent. Will give it ago later on. Cheers mate.
