Title: Bing Carb
Post by: tmc3c on July 02, 2004, 04:52:30 AM
While taking a break today while out riding I noticed gas running out the bottom of the carb from the float bowl overflow.The gas petcocks were open and when I closed them this stopped the flow.Do I still have a float problem or is this normal ?

Sounds like your float needle is worn or there is a speck of dirt on the seat.  The old ones were metal and a "ring" would wear around them from vibration.  There are newer rubber tipped types and they seal better.  Looking forward in seeing you at M/O:D

Thank You Kip !! I am also looking forward to meeting you at M/O !! I will check the float needle. This might be why it is running rich. Thanks Buddy:)
