Semper Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What kind of bike is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclough Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm quite sure you could get this sorted pretty much anywhere unless it's a specialist bike. Most of the main Honda Dealers & Yamaha Dealers have at least one person who speaks english most of the time and Kawasaki in town, well it seems they pretty much all speak good english down there. Failing this, if you have a thai friend that can translate for you then problem solved!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semper Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yes, if it's a Honda Wave or similar you can just go to any garage and point at the fuel leak. They will fix this for max. 100B. it's sounds like the floatvalve is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticklee Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have a good, English speaking mechanic that has proved honest and knowledgeable. Canal Rd. just south of Mae Hia market , 1st shop to the north of the Bridgestone Tire dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2oDunc Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sticklee no offence to the OP intended but if he has difficulty in getting a simple fuel leak sorted do you honestly think he is able to figure out which direction is North ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMX Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sticklee no offence to the OP intended but if he has difficulty in getting a simple fuel leak sorted do you honestly think he is able to figure out which direction is North ? Not at all the case. We all have different "skill sets," which are related to our experiences and other learning. I might be able to fix a little fuel problem in a second, you not, but you could be a genius at theoretical mathematics and astrophysics. Might happen neither of us know north from south, and never will. Mae hia market is the thing that's got me lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMFK86 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 thanks for replies guys. bike is standard semi automatic, i think ill just stop at the first garage i see as this problem is eay to explain without words, but good to know of some mechanics if problems get harder. stupid question but im serious: how dangerous is it to drive with a fuel leak? its just a small drop every few seconds but now that it has been standing theres gas over the engine part on the side which gets really hot. id imagine the wind/heat makes the gas evaporate way before it can get inflamed right? just checking, dont wanna watch my bike burn to ash because i was too lazy to push it. thanks!

dave2 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 cmx. re ... Mae Hia market i might be wrong but i thinks its the huge hidden market right on the corner of suthep road. / canal road many people dont see it coz theres no front but if you go down the very small sois / allyways between the shops just before the traffic lights you will find it dave2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure when they need to buy carrots or chillies this would be useful but unless it's a mechanic market what's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
