Carb Problems

Featured Replies

the rubber nipple is sticking on my whatever jet, preventing fuel from filling the bowl of the carb.....it gets stuck at the top. i tried freeing it off with petrol and the like but it doesnt work. it runs, ( the bike that is) then sticks again preventing fuel from filling the carb. can you replace this part?? the rubber part (nipple) does look worn and seems to be the cause of the prob but is it replaceable? and what is it called ?? if you can figure what i am trying to describe :beer:

NB do not use solvents to clean carbs because i am sure that is the cause

thanks j :(

You can buy a new needle and seat from your local Sherco dealer - it's a simple job to replace.

Quick PS - Solvents are OK to use on carbs, just remove all the rubber/plastic/anything else not metal bits first! The part you are looking at is called the float valve or needle and seat. It will require adjustment after it is fitted, the Sherco lads will probably have the specs for you.

Cheers,
