Carb Problem

Post by carmanbikes »

Hello everyone hope you are all well :D
I have just rebuilt and rejetted the carbs, when I have put them back on I have got fuel pouring from the hose which goes inbetween the carbs one from each carb and they have a rubber band around them, I have been told to let them hang down but fuel pouring from the front one, would anyone know why, Tia :thumbup:

Your floats are stuck open, they are overflow pipes, if the float bowl gets full it will come out.

Off with the carbs again and clean out the needle valve and their seats. if you can bench test them with some fuel before putting them back on, try and hold them at the angle they'll be on the bike, if they don't leak they are ok to put back on.

+1 on that. You have a float/valve issue.
