Please help!

Today the carb on my 250r just started leakin gas like crazy! Its pretty much like if I took the gas line off the carb and turned on the gas thats how fast it leaks through there.
I think that maybe it is the float. I took the whole carb apart and couldnt find anything broken in there, would there be a spring for the floats that broke? If so, where can I get a new one, and how do I put it in? Do I need a new carb?
Thanks everyone

 

Chances are, a piece of trash won't permit the float valve to close properly and seal. Clean the float valve and seat thoroughly; make sure the floats move freely on their pivot, make sure float height is correct. Good luck!

An easy way to tell if your floats are adjusted properly is to take the carb off and take the float bowl off. Turn the carb over and see if the floats are coming down to a straight line with the carb houseing. I'd just clean the whole thing and then check. My floats used to stick open and the only way to close them was to jump my quad a few times. I also couldn't get full throttle response from it when it was doing that.

 

Ok, well I fixed it I guess. The guy I bought it from gave me another carb when I got the R and I just cleaned it up and put it on. I cleaned the old one and everything and nothing seemed to work so I just said screw it. I also rejetted the new one a little smaller and it runs AWESOME now, I was having trouble with having to wait on the powerband but now there is instant power when I want it. Gosh I love 250r's, praying for a 2001 250r in a 400ex chassis with EFI and 12 inches of shock travel!
But I can tell I will be prayin forever cause its not gonna happen.

 

Keep praying for the R that you hope Honda will build. I'll just keep hoping I win the next big lottery here. We both have about as much a chance!!!
