joe.kent Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 So I took the carbs to a shop to have the TORS eliminator kit installed, since I didn't have the tools to do it myself and didn't want to screw it up. Today, I put the carbs back on, and installed all new fuel lines and drain tubes, but now when I turn the petcock to RES or ON, the bike will run, but 3 of the 4 Vent hose/Drain hoses will "leak" or flow fluid. The only one of the 4 that doesn't leak gasoline is the one directly toward the rear of the carb with the choke. Anyone know why the gasoline is flowing from the vent/drain tubes?

They prolly got some trash or shavings in the carb. disassemble and clean them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinkler, What is the best way to disassemble them? Do I need to strip them down, pull all the jets etc out? Also, what is best to clean them with? Supposedly they did the hypersonic cleaning on the carbs too, I know they are much cleaner than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Take it apart and clean them again and check the float height. Use some carb & choke cleaner, and remove the jets and use compressed air to clean them out. Edited March 20, 2011 by MILO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Take it apart and clean them again and check the float height. Use some carb & choke cleaner, and remove the jets and use compressed air to clean them out. Make sure the float height is correct. Or, take them back to the shop and have them make it right.
