      I remember a period when my Caliber 115 started to leak petrol heavily. People would stare at me at signals, seeing at the leaking petrol!

      After getting the carburetor cleaned many number of times, finally I got a mech who told me I need to change this needle. It is usually damn costly, specially looking at its size (mine was some 2-300rs, mind you the needle is hardly 1-2mm fat and 1-2cm long). After changing this needle, the bike hasn't leaked petrol ever

      BTW Old fox, terrific explanation. Cleared the thing for me
