Hey all,

I posted in the new forum section but thought this might be better. My kids got a Coolster ATV-3125XR-8U for the past Christmas and the carb is dumping gas now. Very new and hasn't been used much. It is pouring out of the copper pin in the center of the picture. Any help would be great!

Thanks !
Nik

 

Have you taken the carb off and checked the float?

 

 

take it apart and give it a good cleaning. float could be stuck of it has a pin hole in it and its filled with fuel.

 

 

Float is sticking. Prolly from ethanol gas. Shut fuel off after riding and let the motor run till the carb empty. When you turn the gas on it'll wash the needle as it fills the bowl.

 

For fuel to be flowing out that high up, it must be filling the air filter and cylinder too. Check if the sump has been filled with fuel (if it is a four stroke), and change the oil if it has. Remove the plug as the cylinder will almost certainly be "locked" with fuel. If you spin the engine on the starter to get fuel out of the cylinder, be careful, I have set two bikes on fire doing this, as a spark from the plug ignited the spray of fuel from the plug hole.

 

Thats one of those subjects that is extremely debatable..LOL.. Iv been running ethanol fuel for 6 years in the quads and as long as its been out in small engines. The only time i ever have had issues is when i added stabilizer for the winter months. Every machine and pc of equipment had to be drained. I do nothing to the fuel and its rock solid

 

Most small engine manufactures have suffered from ethanol. The return rate was enormous.
Example: Wife bought a leaf blower. In red was*use of ethanol fuel voids warranty*
Extremely debatable? Only in your garage.

 

Thanks for the input to all of you. I am away but will check into this when I return! I'll check back in when I can. Thanks again!
