The side  that I KNOW is leaking is the other side; however, the hoses  
on both  sides are loose on the fittings, so I expect the driver side  
may be  leaking also. The problem is that I can not visually inspect  
where  the fuel line enters the driver side carb when the air cleaners/ 
carb  linkage are assembled, due to the air cleaner base plate hiding   
everything on that side (the fuel line enters from the left back  part  
of the carb, just under the air cleaner. This is the CB  performance  
setup, where the carb linkage hinges between the air  cleaner base  
plates. Makes things harder if you need to access  things in that  
area.... even when dealing with the #3 and #4 spark  plugs, I have to  
take the whole air cleaner/carb linkage apart. When  I replace the  
fuel lines, I will get it running with no carb linkage  so that I can  
verify I've got a good connection  there.





This is mostly because there's no "left or right" handed Weber ICTs.  
They're both the same carb, and this makes things tight in the left hand front  
corner. I've ran into this issue several times, and there's not a lot you can 
do  about it. Even the chinese version (empi) have the same problems 
mentioned  above. The linkage isn't the same, but it has a lot of the same minor 
problems  that the CB kit has.
