Carbs

[timothy kaim]

Hello I have a03 banshee it just started leaking gas out of the left side carb it didn't do it before I haven't rode it since I tore the bike down and rebuilt I haven't touched the motor, so do u think if I ride it will it free up the float?

Sometimes a ride will free it up but sometimes you'll have to clean it.

K that's what I figured I also let it run out of gas don't know if that may affect anything

Thank u

The float needle could be bad too, not letting it seal up.

Ok I'm going to ride it this weekend and hopefully it frees up if not I guess I'll rebuild those too

Turn the gas off start the bike and run the bike until it runs the carbs dry. Then turn the fuel back on and see if it still leaks. Lots of times that that will flush out whatever is in the needle if that is the only issue. Dont sit there and rev the piss out of the bike and lean it out just let it idle and run it out of fuel.

Thanks I will try when I get off work I'll let Ya know what happens

Could try tapping it. But if a float is hanging up, it's wise to investigate why. Not assume it is free now and forget about it.

I did, it was fine till I let it run out of gas?I will definitely test them down I've went this far might as we ll rebuild them, thanks for all the help!
