Just noticed today my carburetor joint (the Y shaped hose that connects the carburetor & both cylinders together) has BIG cracks in it & when the throttle is twisted it bulges out!!! Guess that's why my bike has been struggling at 50mph?!
Does anyone know the best solution? I'm guessing tank off & replace the joint? Anyone know how difficult this is/have any tips??
In the meantime, how likely is the bike to go bang if I keep using it?
Thanks for any help
