problems idling


Recommended Posts

Here is my problem, I'm trying to fix my friend banshee. Just replaced the top end. It starts fine but, when the bike is warm and comes down to idle it seems like it runs out of gas(stalls). The choke tube on his bike is worn out. It won't stay in any fixed postion , you have to hold it. I took my choke tube off my banshee and put it on his and, it seems to idle a little better. But here my other problem, when you rev the engine gas drips out of the over flows. when its idling it doesn't. So, I took the carbs off and checked the float height. It's at 21mm. Gas is still dripping. What am i doing wrong? What can I look for? Thanks. :confused:banghead

the fuel valve+seat could be worn or dried out and allowing fuel to continue flowing when it should'nt makeing it act like the floats are out of adjustment.i would first adjust the tangs on the floats to shut the fuel flow sooner+see if that helps.
