I did clean the carbs and take everything apart so maybe I didn't tighten something
How's the gasket? A lot of times that's just a worn gasket at the top of the carb. The liquid follows the curve of the carb and makes it look like a leak from the bottom. What do you think @Brenten.Ryan-AZ ?
Great glad you fixed it. That's why I say any electrical problem check your fuses first. And barley blow is blown as long as it isn't solid the current can not travel through it. When you took the carbs apart did you replace the gasket? Those paper gasket are made for one time use only if you take it apart you need to replace it.
@everyone I am an industrial Mechanic in automotive industry that makes bearing for BMW, Volvo, and many more. Currently in school to finish mechanical engineering program. If I can be assistance to anyone just let me know.
>german cars
There is nothing worse than having to work on a German car.
They build those bastards in such a way as to make it hard for you.
Knowing how to work on them is very profitable though

@Deleted User Whew, a carb related question
Honestly the only carb I’ve had my hands on was on a 07 CR125R
Honestly I don’t remember any gaskets on her, changing jet settings was 2 simple screws on the top as the throttle cable enters the carb body, and I don’t remember any gasket that seated there.
I have a 2005 Honda civic dx and my check engine came on flashing and my engine was running rough and sort of sputtering. I've been having problems with it running hot. Hoping it's not a blown headgasket or worse.
Recently replaced my thermostat a second time. It was running perfectly until i drove about 90 miles and began to have problems with the engine heating up again.
Anyone versed on hho???
@Honneur et Patrie Have you noticed a change in the amount of coolant present in the reservoir?
@Honneur et Patrie#8729 get a scanner to pull that code to begin with. It’s a good starting point to see what your ECM / PCM is saying (a general area of concern)
As much as I don’t care for uh oh zones (Autozone) or O’Reilly’s auto stores they can pull the code for you for free.
If you get that code, I (or any other tech here) can help go from there.
One of the obvious tell tale signs of a blown head gasket is oil in the coolant, milky oil (coolant in oil), and white smoke from your exhaust.
If it is a head gasket they aren't horrible to change on honda four cylinders
german cars were made to secure the existance of mechanics
Clean the carbs put some seafoam in it and it still sounds super strange
Unfortunately it won’t let me open the file
Me either.
If your comfortable with it, you can send it to me via email or Facebook.

@Deleted User hey there brother, did you resolve the issue with your truck?
No. I havent had a chance to take it anywhere yet.
the wheels on my car get real hot and smell funny, is that because the wheel bearings need to be regreased or the wheel bearings are shot or what, they dont sound like theyre grinding at all. i think i need to bleed my brakes because the pedal goes all the way to the floor and it feels like theres no fluid pressure in there
i drive for like 15 mins and it smells like somethings burning and the metal on my wheels are super hot to the touch
@Brenten.Ryan-AZ weigh in for me on this if you can
no rush
Loaded did you recently get new wheels, or do any service on your brakes recently?
Yes i took off the wheels and took off the brakes to see why they were acting up, and put them back on just as they were since the pads were fine
Yea concerning the weird smell and excessive heat, I would pull those hub assemblies off and inspect them for pivoting and scortching. If there are any signs of either of those two replace both sides of the vehicle’s hubs.
For your spongy brakes check your fluid and bleed the air out of them if you are suspecting that there is air in the line. Check your lines and fittings for leaks as well.
Thanks ill start on that and see where i get hung up
@loadedbrush#4901 any luck so far bud?
No, ive got a feeling its gona be a whole can of worms so i havent cracked it open yet, gotta wrangle some funds together before i crack the egg and start taking things apart. just watched a few youtubes to get a plan of attack
my entire passenger underside of the car is covered in oil and it seems to be slowly leaking multiple fluids. i have to put a quart of oil in it every 10 or so days
