Leaking mixture screw
I've been recommissioning my 96 M600 after sitting in the shed for 8 years. I've cleaned the carbs out and got it running sweetly but there appears to be a leak from one of the mixture screws. Any ideas what could cause this?

Perfect, I don't remember seeing that o ring so maybe it's gone! I'll order a new pair.
Exciting to hear it running again after so long! |

Make sure that's it a synthetic material and ethanol resistant or it'll just melt away

Image taken from here: https://www.litetek.co/Carb_Kit_Ducati.html But you might want to think about replacing all the seals/gaskets with viton alternatives and also the float valve with a viton-tipped item, see here: http://www.nrp-carbs.co.uk/shop/inde...roduct_id=2718 |
