Does she keep flooding?

[Weirdman]

Sorry this isn't a question about a banshee but..

 

 

I have a kx 250 the thing is is that i cleaned the carb out and i kicked it about 10 times and she started up (this has happed 2 times and havn't got it runnin since) i can rev it for about 5 seconds and then bogs out on me and dies and i can't get it started again?? and it keep leaking gas out of that tube that comes out of the bottom of the carb. im wondering if the floaters need adjusted or somthing.. how do i solve it??

Please HELP

yea you need to pull the bowl and adjust the float...you want it to get as much fuel into the bowl as you can but have it still shutthe gas off when the bowl is full..best way i can think to do it is adjust it, then rig up some way to feed gas into it and see if it overflows. that way u dont have to put it back on the bik and all that to make sure it works...

So what i want to do is bend the floaters upwards so gas flows out more.. before it closes off or do i need to bend them down soo it gets less gas because after it does this when i kick it it over flows and leaks out..

 

 

see the damn thing is is that a couple days ago it was running fine.. idk what is wrong with it

bend the float down. that will allow less fuel in the bowl and the fuel will shut off sooner. so youll actually bend the little tab that holds the needle up...

What if she is hard to kick.. like now when i kick it it only goes through the cycle once its hard to get it to spin multiple times..

Sounds maybe seized? My KX 80 Did the same thing and it was seized.
