sandmann Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 So i took off my carbs and did some cleaning. once i put everything back together, I wanted to start the banshee. But once I opened the fuel valve under the tank, the right carb overflow hose had a stream of fuel coming out of it! the banshee does not start and the only way to stop the fuel from flowing is to turn off the valve. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroked Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Floats are stuck or bad needle and seat. I would take apart again double check floats and needle and seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzard Racing Customs Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 X2 sounds like a stuck float if u reassembled them correctly u might be able to just tap the side of the carb to get it to un stick but i doubt it what kind of carbs?

Nightmare Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Check the little pin that holds the floats in place. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickson483 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 X2 for tapping on it. Use the handle of a screw driver and give it a couple good taps and turn the gas back on. It should stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she_rides_nice Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 anyone know what float height is supposed to be at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 anyone know what float height is supposed to be at? Measure the distance from the float bowl gasket surface WITHOUT THE GASKET to the top of the float itself. This measurement should be 21mm exactly on both floats. If you get some other reading just bend or tweak the float arms until you get this setting. Just don't bend them sideways so that they may interfere with the float bowl itself. Check for clearance when you are finished. When you are satisfied they are perfect, replace the float bowl gasket and float bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
