Gas dripping out of overflow hose?

[06bluebanshee]

Gas is dripping alot out of the overflow on the right carb? It does it when idleing and when motor is turned off? What is the deal with all that?

Thanks guys!

Sounds like your float is sticking. I'd try taking the bowl off and cleaning it out, make sure the float is moving freely.

I had the exact same problem and it was the floats like mentioned. Pretty sure they should b at 21mm too.

No Link?

My carbs are leaking too.

I was told to use a q-tip and toothpaste to polish the float needle seat.

This was discussed a while back about the cleaning your needle seat and float needle with toothpaste. Here it is.

could be dirt in the needle seat or floats need adjusted.. also if it sits long periods of time with the new ethanonol gas it actually eats the rubber and seal in the carbs use a Star brite Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment Gas Additive
