traxx2003 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Today I went out for a quick ride, and almost ran out of gas out in the desert. Went out with a full tank, and nearly made it back after only about 30 min ride. Come to find out, the right carbon drain line is steadily drain fuel. Not dripping, but a stedy flow. This just to happened today. Has anybody experienced this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0chek Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 is the bike rode on a regular basis or has it been sitting around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwinnraptor Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 float is probably stuck open, check float needle & seat. Mine did the same thing, replaced them and cleaned the carbs and its fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did the same thing, replaced them and cleaned the carbs and its fine now. I ride at least twice a week. I'll be taking it apart tonight. Where did you get the niddle valve? Is there a kit?

gwinnraptor Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Got mine at the dealership. Yours could just be hung up in there and need a cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, I'll try to clean it first. Hopefully that's all it will need. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ticktock Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 The GX(something) kit on eBay for 32$ is good. I had no problems when I rebuilt the carbs with no further issues with that kit. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=230699589749&index=4&nav=SEARCH&nid=81851210898 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
