locogato11283 Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 check to see if something is holding up ur float. i had the same problem with the needle and seat. pulled that out and had something in there. get an inline fuel filter, havent had that problem since.

boonman Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18505 You have a float stuck. The lower hose is the overflow........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittmer Posted December 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I KNOW NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT CARBS, but i thought each carb had two tubes one for draining the bowl, and the other is an over flow for the bowl am i correct in my thinking and if so how is it comming out of the drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txblueshee Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Your floats got dry or it is hung. Take the handle of a heft screwdriver and beat on the carb bowl. Mine did it after a rebuild. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
