TexasQuad Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 I've got a 2000 banshee with stock Carbs... Its sat up for about a year before I had completed putting it back to gether... (no motor mods) The Right side Carb leaks Bad... outta the Vent hose... Is this a Possible Float Sticking? I had to run it with the petcock turned almost off to get it to stop leaking.. when i stoped I'd have to turn it to the off possition... Any Ideas Before i Tear in to the carbs. It ran good, but lost a lotta fuel.. The way the fuel cost I cant afford to loose much....lol.... Thanks, Derrick Quote
ranshee Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 Most likely your carb float is sticking. Take the carbs out and clean them completley and reinstall. They should work fine after that. Also try tapping that carb with something and see if it comes loose. Quote
Capone Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 (edited) Make sure the float high is correct, blow in the fuel inlet while moving the float up. When you cannot blow any air through the line on the side of the float should be even with the bottom of the carb (where the float bowl meets it). If the line isn't even adjust the metal clip that pushes the little piston up. Guarentee fix. =) Edited October 4, 2004 by VitoBanshee Quote
racer Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 thats a hell of an idea, ive got the same prob but never even dreamed of doing such a thing. Quote
nater006 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 worn needle valve will do that too, but, if it just started doing that after not being ridden in a while, probably just needs a de-gunking and adjustment like the others have mentioned.. Quote
TexasQuad Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Posted October 6, 2004 Vito and the rest, THanks for the help. I'll get around to tearing them out as soon as i get a break from my job... 15 hours a day is killing me... But on pay day(s) i'm blessed.......Thanks again.... Quote
