sport Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Leaving your gas on. 344685[/snapback] so its normal to have the carbs let the gas run right thru them in to the cylinders ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scottish Tree Badger Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 so its normal to have the carbs let the gas run right thru them in to the cylinders ?? 344720[/snapback] Nope! Maybe you've got a problem with a float in one of the carbs. ... When the float bowl has enough fuel in it, the float closes a needle valve to stop any more fuel coming through. It's either not rising,'cos it's got a hole in it and has got fuel inside it, or the needle valve is not sealing corectly. Try tapping on the side of the float bowl with a screwdriver handle. I would only expect it to happen on one side, as a failure of both floats/ needles at the same time is highly unlikely! I think someone else should chime in here, as two strokes are new to me and I'm not sure that the port configurations would allow this to happen anyway? Rare.

ssanddemon Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Sounds right. It was flooded out for some reason, needle/seat being most likely. Again, it would only happen on one side normally, unless the bike was tipped over or some such other thing, although I guess a very plugged air filter could make it do something like that.

Rare. 344752[/snapback] would this kinda thing make both pipes fill up if it was only 1 carb or do you think it filled the crank case and worked its way up the other cylinder / i haven't really checked it all out yet , i am going to pull the motor this weekend ..... just looking for some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I would think one leaking carb would fill up both pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee4u Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I would think one leaking carb would fill up both pipes. 344878[/snapback] One carb would not fill both cylinders unless you had a two inti one carb setup.Also all engines cylinders are seperated,in order for them to share anything you would have to have a bad head gasket or broken crankcase. Nobody is playing games with you on your shee ? Was it water or gas in your pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think oil or gas could get beween sides quite easily since there is supply (of gasoline) on one side and suction on both sides, fluids could theoretically transfer back and forth. Never seen it myself, but sounds possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Seems like a rare possibility. Sure you don't have some kids around playing with gas cans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stclark816 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 After every ride, you should always shut ur gas off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
