Ok I'll give that a try tonight or tomorrow morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do I tell if it's leaking? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright I'll order a couple of oem float valves and give it a shot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool I'll pull the carbs apart later this afternoon. I'm starting to think that kit is junk too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm just as confused. Both carbs act the same way so that's why I thinking it's connected to the stator being screwed up but is there anyway I can see if the floats are still good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes several times and it's in spec each time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Slides are in the correct carbs, yes both carbs leak, and I used a shindy kit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if it's not creating a large enough spark at low RPM's which is causing the carbs to flood out. I noticed when checking for spark when I kicked it normally I would only get a somewhat weak spark and when I kicked it very aggressively I would get a nice strong blue spark.

Yes I changed the whole seat and o ring and checked my reeds that were in pretty good shape. No gaps in the paddles. I did pull the fly wheel just to see and I found that I broke my woodruff key in half when reinstalling the flywheel. So one half was still holding the flywheel in place while the other bounced around my stator which I'm assuming destroyed it and is the reason for these low end problems. I'll post a pic of the stator later when I get home tonight. Could a stator cause these issues? I'm just assuming because it's the first thing I've actually found wrong beside the compression being down. Pic of the key Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have not yet but I will if I get a chance today Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I let off the throttle and don't get back on the gas right away it bogs out and dies. It then leaks gas out of the over flow tubes and is impossible to start unless I push start it. This is why I'm pretty sure it's flooding itself out and yes the plugs are soaked. I haven't seen fuel over filling the carbs because it only happens for that split second when the bike dies out and I'm assuming while I decelerate after putting a decent load on the motor. It never does it while it's idling only when you put a load on the motor. I completely rebuilt the carbs with a shindy kit so the needles and seats are already brand new Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright I'm really starting to get frustrated with this thing. I tried bumping my needles up to the second positions from the top just to see and nothing changed. I also checked compression to start ruling out the basics and I had 105 in both cylinders so that was good. It has a pretty strong spark as well. I don't think my timing plate could be causing this but what do you guys think? It never did this before but I don't see how advancing my timing +4 would cause my carbs to flood out. If you guys are curtain it's a float issue I'll bite the bullet and spend the $50 on new ones but I'd like to rule out a couple more things first. Thanks again guys I'd probably have given up and started saving up for new carbs by now if I was going at this alone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked the the float height again while I have them apart and it's right around 21mm. The caliper is set at 22mm I did have the carbs sitting apart under a shop towel for about 2 months. Could the floats have gotten moisture in them because of that. The needle doesn't seem to be getting hung up and it's also brand new. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just did and the cutouts on the slides are facing the filters Could it have anything to do with my needle position? It only seems to leak fuel out of the overflow tubes after the motors been under load. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm around 500' as well so I'll give those jets a try. I did put in a 290 main last night and the bike did the same thing. Started somewhat easily idled a little high so I backed down a little with the idle screws and then took it for a ride. It bogged right when I let off the clutch but picked itself back up when I got on it. I did a lap behind my house and when I started slowing down it sounded like the bike completely cut out and when I gave it gas nothing unless I held it pinned so it couldn't idle down. I limped it back to the garage and when it finally died out it was leaking gas out of the over flow tubes. I have no idea what is causing this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
