97stageIVBansh Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 ok so i posted last night but i had another question, when i turn the gas on gas pours out of the over flow tube at the bottom the bowl just keeps filling the bike floods instantly, i think i have some metal from putting the tors eliminator thing on, how do i remove the pin to take the float off, so i can pull the needle out and clean it out really good to make sure nothing got in there either, also would the depth of the needle in the slide would that make the bowl flood and should i drop the needle down some more its on the middle setting there are six thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlasterKX Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 to get the pin out to remove the float you can use a small phillips screw driver and something to tap it with and just tap the one end and it should just slid right out. or sometimes you can get away with using just needle nose pliers. and gunk in there would cause it to have gas coming out of the overflow.

No dropping the needle is not going to stop fuel from coming out if it was running fine before leave it were it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 wow man yall are fast ok im gonna run back outside and try it i didnt wanna bend anything thanks man ill be back in like 20 if it doesnt work thanks! don't mess with the needle in the slide unless you are adjusting your jetting. do one carb at a time, so you don't mix the bowls. and check the float height, like stated in your other thread. it's measured from the gasket surface to the top of the float. also, the float needle is spring loaded to absorb shock, so make sure the spring part is not stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shee4speed Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 ok so I pulled everything apart pulled the pilot out cleaned it pulled thed float out and the brass thing it sits on cleaned it everything seems fine, it still floods there is no way any metal could still be in there I used like a whole bottle of carb cleaner for each ha im going crazy here the slides are all the way down too do I need a new float and what do you mean by float height, im pretty new to this float height is very crucial. 21 mm from the base of the carb with no gasket. you measure to the top of the float with the carb upside down.Hopefully you dont have any shit stuck in the needle valve seat. You'll get it.Just measure carefully and clean thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheejoel Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 not to be a dick but you dont have to make aton of different posts for the same issue. You have like 3 having to do with your floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 so how do I adjust them if they are off? bend the tab that the needle sits against. just a little at a time untill you get it right. i like to use a 1/4" flat head screwdriver, and twist back and forth a little, instead of pry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKheathen Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 so lifting that tab up will lower the float if the carb was upside down and bending it down will raise it? 10-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97stageIVBansh Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 10-4 ok I got another question if it wasn't the float making it flood if the new idle screws from the tors eliminator weren't air tight would that make it the bowl fill up like that?
