    Can anyone tell me how to drain fuel from carbs on a non-running 750 Seca with Hitachi Carbs without removing them? Thank You,

    attach a piece of fuel line (or clear acrylic line) to the nipple of the float bowl (sticks straight out of the back of the bowl). back out the bowl drain screw a few turns (right next to the drain). Empty gas into suitable container. Repeat 3 times with the other bowls :)

    Make sure petcock is on the "ON" or "RES" position, so no more fuel will enter the carbs.


    If the drain screws are stuck... or worse yet, the carbs are full of old, varnished gas, you'll have to pull 'em anyway.
