leaking carb

[04YAMSHEE]

my right carb is leaking out the overflow when i shut my banshee off. i took off the carbs and cleaned them both out and checked to see if the float was sticking and everything looked good. put it back togother fired her up, shut her down and leaking away again.

my buddys blaster did the same thing. id would even leak out while its running sometimes. i took the carb apart and when i did where the needle from the floats go up and down i took the pin out for the floats then the small phillips screw and then poped that round piece out and it was all sorts of gunked up. cleaned it out,put it back together and never did it again. hope this helps.

Mine was doing the same thing, turned out the float valve was sticking open. Clean out the float valve or even better gab yourself a rebuild kit and rebuild both carbs, the kit is cheap and good insurance.

i think i found it. i ripped out the needle and seat and the needle is coated with a rubber tip and there was a pretty big groove wore in it. the down fall is that the needle/seat assy is a wonderfull $35 per carb!! thanx for the help!! i will keep you guys informed if that fixes it.
