Sip77 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 Hi guy's. I have a 2009 beta evo 290 which has started guzzling fuel, around 2-3 litres an hour. There is no leaks I can see with engine running or not and the carb is clean with floats set. Not had bike long so I'm not really sure about power but it doesn't feel much better than my old rev3 200. Any info, help, ideas would be welcomed and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

lineaway Report post Posted January 6, 2019 I would bet your floats are sticking and is running out the over flow tubes. Mine does it every so often. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't see or smell any petrol leaking anyplace . The idle screw is turned fully in and the air screw doesn't seem to make a lot of difference. Maybe once it's around 3 turns out it does.

lineaway Report post Posted January 7, 2019 Sounds like you need a carb clean to start with. Pay attention to the pilot jet and circuit. Make sure the needle and seat is good and working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
