BUILDER Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Is it leaking out of both carbs? If it is I doubt your floats are stuck I am guessing either you didnt get your float back in right or you bent them so they are not shutting off.

RadarRacing Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Just like Builder said. A quick way to check float height is to hold the carb upside down with the bowl off and set or bend the float tab where it sits even or parrallel with the bottom of the carb body where the bowl would rest on it. The float should NOT rest anywhere on the inside of the carb. It should rest on the pin and the needle only. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
