Initially I couldn't detect the gas smell until it finally developed into a small but noticeable drip from the left (driver's side) on the gas tank behind the rear wheel.

All three gas hoses (pipes?) were beyond repair and were replaced with three lengths of nylon hose - $140 for 45 feet - three runs from the rear to the engine. Expensive hose clamps too at $8 each.

4 hours labour so a total of $600 smack-a-roos - not cheap.

Didn't replace the fule filter but that's next up.

Runs great!!
