anotherfive Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 I've had real trouble with the carb on my new (to me) bike. Had Keihins before so went through the usual bend the tang in the carb float mounting etc etc changed the fuel jet even though rubber end looked ok. Spent all day stripping and putting bike back together to still find an intermittent flood. So when I got home checked further. Where the rubber jet stops the fuel I used a magnifying glass and looked into the hole only to see a roughish area that could have stopped the sealing off. I bedded this in by hand gently spinning a drill bit in there. The other thing I did was slightly bend the brass overflow pipe in the float bowl as I suspect this could be touching a float. This is for info for anyone else with the same issues. Fingers crossed all seems fine now - until I get 40 miles from home again of course !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
