Hi, have a guestion. Just finished my carb switch out on my Srv . I have notice when I open the hood it smells like gas. Looked everywhere , no leaks and my gas level in the tank is going down. I have took the seat off and loosened the tank and lifted it up no wet spots. What can it be? Thanks for any info.

Probly leaking somewhere slowly and just evaporating leaving no signs of a leak. Check everywhere!
Leaking into the engine. Pull the plugs and see the case is full.

Check the fuel level "sight" hose and fitting. Could be brittle and have a crack in either the fuel hose or tank fitting.

Checked all hoses , I put all new ones on. Could it have anything to do with the vent hoses? The two on the carb are new and lose and one fits on a 90• elbow that moves and it was pointed down wards. I moved it back up at 2 o'clock position . Thanks

Very well could be. Do you have hose clamps on them? If they are a loose fit you may need to put hose clamps on them if you haven't already.
