#1 Not Really a China Bike but... BMW 750 Airhead question04-27-2011, 04:02 PM
Ok my buddy has this 74 BMW 750 airhead which was left to him by a friend that had passed away. Now the bike is in fairly good condition but it sat for a while while my buddy was sick and plus a year after. we finally manned up and picked up the bike.
We have it started and running and does pretty good tooling around except i think a gasket or seal in the left hand carb is bad.
When ever he makes a left turn in he pi$$3$ fuel. We havent taken it to the BMW repair shop or taken the carb apart.
Any ideas on why it would do that.

Gardo,
I'd guess it is the float bowl gasket or maybe the float is set too high.
Example at:

Not saying this is the right size gasket kit.
Oh, you know the rule, the bike does not exist without photos.

I think your problem is that the engine has fallen over onto its side?
Would be handy for keeping your feet warm on I suppose.Kinlon R/T KBR JL200GY-2

Lol.
Thank you very much of the pics of the old BMW.
I was very close to buy BMW R75 like this:
She had front disk brake and original side bags. The seat has been changed too to awesome comfo seat.
She was so beautiful and perfect I had to use all will power I had to not buy her and get a real adventure! Only after reading how much it would cost to rebuild transmission and cardane I managed to give up.
Man, don't really want to memorize it. It was more like once in a lifetime chance I missed.
