cota kid Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Any one had any problems with the floats in a Dellorto carb filling up with fuel. Evidently they can turn porous. This has happened on my 05 290. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Haven't heard of that, but gasoline can be evil stuff these days...here in the States, anyway. Whatever is in it now is taking off a paint job that I did about 6 years ago that always held up to gas. You could try dipping them in tank sealer, but that would add weight, and could get you into trouble. I would only try it as an experiment after buying new ones, and keep them for spares if it seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike od Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 I had a new '03 200 with a small crack in one of the floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cota kid Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Changed the float and rode at the weekend without any mechanical problems just the usual 'user error'. Thats something that hasn't happend for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
