tazz229 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It sounds like the float is stuck and not shutting the supply off. Take the carb back off remove the bowl and check the float isn't jammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andymower1 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 It looks like it comes out to far and jams open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andymower1 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah the floats can't cut it of because its jammed open soon as the fuel comes through so how do I repair it or do I need to buy a new carb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee99780 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Have you put the floats back in upside down? I don't think you can but it's something to check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 If your fuel needle isnt stuck open with dirt, you probably have the floats upside down. Flat side of the float goes to the bottom of the bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) You can always take a look at the parts diagrams at Gas Gas.com or Gas Gas's (.es) spain (AKA manufacture's website, might tell you what your doing wrong. Which carb do you have? Kehin's are tricky to take apart, and assemble, if you force it on the Kehin, you can bend stuff.
