oil in air box?
just been to have a look at a carby SS 900 bit scruffy but that is reflected in the price- was keen to buy until i noticed oil on the inside of the fairing ( left hand side) there was no apparent oil leak on the engine - when i lifted the tank to peek in the air box there was a small pool of oil/water/petrol around the airbox drain!! this has obviously leaked onto the fairing causing the oil stain that i noticed on the inside of the fairing-
what would cause this blow back of oil and petrol into the airbox?????????
is it a case of blocked breather tubes or something a bit more serious???????
any suggestions?
