carbs leaking

[hondamxerd]

06 banshee fmf titaniums with gold seiries pipes, k&n filter, and timing plate, stock everything else. 280 main jets, feels a lil flat on top, should i try a 290, also the carbs are leaking fuel when setting still not running, i took them apart and cleaned well but still leaking any suggestions thanks

Try the 290 and see if it get better or worse. A buddy has a bike with simular mods and he eded up at 280, 27.5, needle in middle clip, air screw 1.5 turns out.

 

Where are the carbs leaking from? Are the floats sticking?

[hondamxerd]

they are leaking from the drain tubes on the carbs, and i thought floats but i cleaned them and still leaking... is there an adjustment on them?

[SNTBANSHEE]

If they are both leaking its probably time for a rebuild or you could just replace the float needle and seat.

Have you checked your float hight?

Have you checked your float hight?

no, how do you do that..lol

Measure from the gasket matting surface without the gasket on it to the top of the float, it should be about 22mm.

see my thread on the Valve Seat. If you havent played with your floats, i usually dont suggest adjusting them without a caliper. 20-22mm is the setting if you need it. I would suggest replacing the Valve seats. I just did mine and no leaking problems after that. they were cheap too.
