sangheraent Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 well I was riding my bike today and noticed it had way less power. I pulled back into my driveway stoped and noticed gas pouring out of the overflows like someone inverted a jerry can above my bike. the bike idled fine before i left and I did 1 slow slightly above idle lap that was fine to but when i hit the gas it didnt have it. what would cause the gas to pour out so heavily?

sangheraent Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 it wasnt pouring out before then it started so what you guys are saying is the floats went up and never came down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Sometimes they don't close all the way due to dirt or sand. Just tap the side of the carb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastquad02blaster Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 You rode your bike and the fuel level in the carbs got low. This made the floats go down and opened the needle valve to let in more fuel. It stuck down not up. You probably need new needle valves.

manalive Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thats due to our president forcing the gas comp. to use ethenal. This will screw up everything. Mix a little stable in your gas, this will not allow the ethenol to gel up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangheraent Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I live i canada dont have the gas problem here plus i run 50/50 race gas. the pointy thing that connects to the floats is perfectly fine. i think the floats go up too high.
