the addict Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) The floats may simply be sticking, give the float bowl a few taps with your fingers and they may re-lease, if not drop the bowl off and make sure they are moving ok, it could also be **** on the fuel shutoff needle or its badly worn and letting fuel past.

zippy Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Are the floats installed properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgy Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 yes tried them doth ways. the pin thats shuts of the fuel seems ok, but it seems to keep letting fuel in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 doesnt take much of a lump of dirt to let fuel pass the needle valve, I would take it off again,blow the passage through with an air line and clean the needle again.

copemech Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Are we talking Dellorto here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgy Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 yes, are they not good carbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 They are fine, should be one of the solutions already mentioned. Only other thing I can think would be a sunken float! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
