September 6, 200916 yr Just got my new 300 Raga, and found it floods the moment that you stop it, unless you turn off the fuel tap before killing the engine. Tip it over on it's side to let the fuel out of the overflow pipe and she starts again, but not very practical. Is this easy enough to live with stopping and starting between sections? My beta could be leant against a tree for an hour without flooding. Any recomended carb adjustments to improve things?
September 6, 200916 yr The fuel needle is dirty or sticking letting fuel into the carb, could also be a sticky float but more likely needle Edited September 6, 200916 yr by The Addict
September 6, 200916 yr more likely to be a bit of dirt in it and not allowing it to shut the fuel off, whip the carby off and clean everything, i always did that with new bikes
September 7, 200916 yr Problem is exremely likely to be dirt in the needle valve. Have a look if there is an in line (fuel line) filter, not usually supplied by the factory but very essential for the Keihin as it does not have an integral filter. Bye, PeterB.
September 8, 200916 yr Done that - couldn't see any dirt but now doesn't flood. Thanks for the advice.
