erickson483 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm wrapping up my build and when I was getting ready to start her up I noticed my right carb is overflowing when the gas is on. I set the float height on both carbs last night, but only the right side is leaking. Any suggestions besides check for a stick float and check float height?

My03banshee Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I got the same issue too, right side carb also. I diagnosed it to be the needle assembly, mainly the needle had nicks on it from something and was catching up on the inside of whatever the fuel inlet thing is called. I took the carb off and moved the float up and down and like 30% chance it would get stuck, and I mean stuck, I had to use pliers to get the needle out, I've never seen it like that but I smoothed out the 3 sides of the needle and helped but I ended up getting new carb gets for like $15 each so it has new needles and everything so I don't have to worry about it when I'm out riding. Going to pick up the kits today so havent put em in yet but I know that was the problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
