Hi everyone:

New member here.

I have an 07 Big Bear 400 that is giving me problems. At first, I thought the problem was only that the carb would leak gasoline from the float bowl. So I took the carb off and cleaned it out real well, put it back on and it still leaks a bit.

Then I find gasoline in the engine crankcase, mixed with the oil. If that’s not bad enough, I look in my air cleaner box and it has nearly a half gallon of gasoline in it.

It’s a good thing I’m not a smoker, I was riding on a time bomb! :surprise:

Anyone ever have this issue? I’m about at my wit’s end. First off, can the problem be anything more than just a carb problem? The bike runs strong, burns no oil, and has given great service.

Thanks in advance for any hep.
