gas pouring out from carbs......
« on: October 10, 2009, 08:40:28 PM »
Ok so took my bike to a shop an hour away to have the carbs cleaned and synched because it was running a little sluggy. He cleaned the carbs good even took pictures of all gook inside. When i went to pic the bike up, we started it and it started to pour gas real bad, im ussuming from one of the carbs. He took a bowl off, adjusted something and it was fine. I took it for a ride today and it started to flood real bad. Again was pissing gas out. Anyone know what this could possibly be?
thanks fellas

Misadjusted float? Float that's not floating? Float that gets adjusted then falls out of adjustment. If it's clean then something to do with the float.

I like guessing  ;D

You might want to go kick the mechanic in the balls.

Then check the orings on the float needle seat, check the needle and re-set your float heights.

Might have a bad float too.

I hate when paying good money to boobs for a service they cannot supply.

I just bought a scooter from a local guy who just got it back from the dealer. He was supposed to change the tires, install a new battery and clean the carb.

WHen I saw and bought the scooter it would not start with the push button, would not idle and it had a weird wobble.

I got home and it indeed had new tires But both axles were LOOSE, not tightned at ALL!
The reason the starter didn't work was the newly installed battery...Had NO water in it!
The reason the bike wouldn't idle is the carb was DIRTY. It had never been touched no finger prints at all under the factory body work. 23 years of crud.

Cleaned the carb, tightned the axles and filled the battery. It now starts, runs, idles and does NOT wobble.

SO, kick the mechanic in the nuts and redo the carbs your self. You couldn't make it worse!
