fuel overflow

[sandmann]

So i took off my carbs and did some cleaning. once i put everything back together, I wanted to start the banshee. But once I opened the fuel valve under the tank, the right carb overflow hose had a stream of fuel coming out of it! the banshee does not start and the only way to stop the fuel from flowing is to turn off the valve.

 

Any ideas?

Floats are stuck or bad needle and seat. I would take apart again double check floats and needle and seat

X2 sounds like a stuck float if u reassembled them correctly u might be able to just tap the side of the carb to get it to un stick but i doubt it what kind of carbs?

I use stock carbs with TORS boxes, I didn't realy do anything with the carbs just some cleaning with a caburator cleaner!

did you take them apart

Check the little pin that holds the floats in place.

X2 for tapping on it. Use the handle of a screw driver and give it a couple good taps and turn the gas back on. It should stop.

Measure the distance from the float bowl gasket surface WITHOUT THE GASKET to the top of the float itself. This measurement should be 21mm exactly on both floats. If you get some other reading just bend or tweak the float arms until you get this setting. Just don't bend them sideways so that they may interfere with the float bowl itself. Check for clearance when you are finished. When you are satisfied they are perfect, replace the float bowl gasket and float bowl.

1 little speck of dirt is all it takes
