No I did not need to re-adjust the floats after replacing the float bowl needle.
I have never been mechanically inclined but watched your video and was able to pull the carb on my son’s CRF 80 and fix it from leaking thank you!
how do you flood a motorcycle
that’s cause the idol screws are probably loose they either need to be tightened or clean out the carb completely!
thanks
turn the petcock off at the gas tank. if you don’t have a petcock drain it into a bucket.
i started taking off my carburetor to my ttr 125l and it started overflowing gas so i had to quickly put it back on, is there a way to get past it, i was thinking of just riding it out and draining the gas, is that what im supposed to do??
I would drain the gas, put new gas in tank and clean the carburetor of all shellac including hinge pin.
Take the carb off and clean all parts. You might have the same problem as the video but with a good gasket and a plugged overflow the gas will follow the next easiest route into the air filter.
If the pin was stuck open would it not have been the little rod on the hinge that was stuck. There should be no way for the pin to be stuck seeing as it would not be touching anything. If the hinge rid that you had a hard time taking out was gummed up with shallac the float would not move. I hope you cleaned it too.
Hi, I have a moped and there is fuel leaking into the air filter, anyone have any ideas why and how I can stop this as it he bike wont run
nice little café racer.
Would this cause the bike to idle at high RPM’s? I got a bike that was sitting for about 5 years and finally got it started. The air filter was completely clogged so after fixing that it started to idle at about 9,000 RPM and I have no idea what is causing that. It only started doing that after new air filter, I never adjusted idle screws
My exhaust leaks gas or something. It smokes white and I cleaned all the carbs to see if it helps it idled a little better then shut off again… One of the four float valves damaged the rubber tip was damaged and off.. could this be the reason why my bike won’t run for more then a minute
It`s just for the overflow so that it isn`t dripping on the engine but on the ground 🙂
Can you tell me whats the little hose on the bottom for?? and those it have to be connected some where??
hey buddy, I got a 2 cycle dual carb arctic cat. That thing is spraying and i mean spraying gas out when i pull the plugs I know its the carbs but whats the problem? THANKYOU!!!!!!
I filled up the Honda Shadow’s tank to store it for the winter but started to leak from the overflow tube. Is that normal?
Thanks, I’m going to try this tonight on my, husky wr 250, same thing, turn the gas valve to on and all my expensive race fuel just starts pouring out! Thanks for the video bro.
my pin has devloped a seat is that beyond repair? its 35 bucks, unreal,its a 1975 xl 250, thx 4 the vid is their a way to test it with out smelling like gas, ew
I don’t know everything about your situation but when I have a little motorcycle that won’t start by using the kick starter I will try push starting it. It is possible you have flooded the bike, too much gas, so with lots of gas you will need lots of air to make it run. If flooded, try kick starting it with the throttle wide open or push start it in 2nd gear with the throttle wide open. Try to store the bike with the fuel turned off if the bike isn’t used often.
Can this cause the bike not to start? if its sitting in the carb and not getting to the cylinder? my bike cranks but wont turn over I had it running I think i might have left the fuel line open over night and the over flow is dripping.
anybody know if it’s possible to install new carb gaskets on an 86 Honda VFR 750 interceptor, without taking the carbs off?
THUMBS UP IF YOU LIKE THE T-SHIRT!
