When it leaks, the leak is pretty big - 4 or 5 drops per second. Makes me think it's from a pressurized gas line. A friend with a Suzuki DR650 said his gas tank/pump setup is the same. He said vibration can cause a crack where the metal gas tube goes through the big round plate. He suggests using JB Weld around that area. I've started it up a dozen times since last night and can't get it to leak. I understand one of the gas lines is an outlet from the pump and the other one is a return line to the tank. Is that right? Which one is the high pressure feed line? How does that work anyway? I tried the white powder trick to try and pinpoint the problem. No luck with that. At the very least, I'll double-up on the hose clamps before putting it back together.
