It has taken some time, but I finally tracked down a fuel leak from the sender unit underneath the left side ( as if you were sitting on the bike.) A very slow leak is coming through the plastic connector that is attached to the bottom of the tank. If you disconnect the wiring plug, fuel comes out the plastic plug, tank side. It isn't much and seems to be nastier when the bike is on the side stand. Any suggestions? I don't really need the sensor as the fuel lights stopped working about 10 years ago and I manage without. The smell is more of a concern and whether it will get worse or let go all together. Any help would be appreciated. The tank is original on 10/83 K100 and has the 4 and 7 litre warning lights (which don't warn any more).
