NitroTate Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Tap your carb bowls with the back end of a screwdriver and it should stop, your floats are just stuck Quote

wacko2000 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Might be time to rebuild the carbs, I just had to do it on my buddies bike.. the needls seat, is rubber and then wear over time and allows fuel to leak out, I order 2 rebuild kits from FAST and the carbs are perfect now, no leaks at all...The kits are like $15 each...sometime taping the carbs works, but if the rubber is worn the only thing that is going to help is replacing it...good luck Quote
banshee2 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Report Posted May 16, 2008 hey thanks dude yea ill try tapping the carb bt the float and see if that helps and if not then replace tha carbs Quote
jharader Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 Oh my, lol dont replace the carbs over the floats sticking or a worn seat!? take the bowls off, take the float off (push the pin through) look at the rubber nipple looking thing (seat) make sure its clean and free of debri, also inspect to see if its worn a groove in it. this is a very common problem, my dad always said tap the carbs, never worked lol but hey! i like beating on shit just as much as the next guy :biggrin: Quote
