patonattack,

How much gas are you finding? I could perhaps imagine a very small amount being possible from blowback but I have never seen any in my airbox.

What year is your Attak? Perhaps carburated engines are more likely to do this than fuel injected engines?

my sled is a 06, there was not very much gas I was able to clean it up with a rag no problem. it seemed like it had some oil mixed with it.

I'm not sure if that's were the smell is coming from because my gas millage went down the tubes that last ride.. cheers!!!

I'm no expert but you may want to check the clamp on the fuel line where it attaches to the rail.

When I modded my airbox on my '06 apex rtx the airbox smelled like gas and there was residue, but no standing fuel in it. I hope others post with their observations.
