Pulled the carby apart, cleaned it out and reassembled.

Picked up a new tap and filter from Bunnings for $5.76, cleaned the tank out and refitted.


Tested and ran for ten minutes with no problems and no leaks. I left it out the back to mow the lawn when it finally stopped raining and this afternoon realised I had left the fuel tap on yesterday and there is a slow leak from the carby where the white plastic cover on the fuel intake with the priming bulb. When I refitted it I had problems as the plastic seems to have deformed a little but it seemed ok at the time.

So time to order the following

And I also need to replace the snorkel, is this the correct part for a 2003 VSX160 powertorque?
