Gas On, Gas Stays Flowing

[LanceG60]

If the fuel is on, all the fuel that the tank is giving the motor just spills out the tube on the right hand side on the bottom. I believe it is the overflow tube on the right carb. Why would it do this? If I take of it bogs a little bit but then it starts using the fuel and drives normal, but if I come to a stop it will just have a constant flow of gas and spill all over the ground. It is progessively getting worse over the past 2 weeks. It used to do it off and on, now it does it all the time and I can't make it stop. Any advice would be cool. Thanks.

you probly have a stuck float in the bowl. Try cleaning the carb and measure the float hight.

float is stuck. something is probably keeping that stop (dont know exactly what the hell its called) from goin up. happened to me and i got an inline fuel filter. hasnt happened since.

Check your float height and if that does not fix the problem the worst it could be is you need a new needle and seat which is under the float and controls the fuel coming in. It shuts off the fuel coming into the bowl when it fills up.

thanks a lot I'm gonna go pull the carbs and check it out

Probably just a small piece of dirt in your needle and seat. Usually you can clean it out and it will work fine.

 

If you are lucky, you can just tap the side of the carb bowl with the plastic end of a screwdriver and it will stop.

its probably the needle and the seat...i had this problem with my cr250 bike...i replaced the needle and cleaned the shit out of it...it runs great now
