I just adjusted the float level on the right carburator on my 2001 Banshee as it wouldn't stop leaking fuel out of the overflow tube on the right carb.

I just went for a ride and now the only time the right cylinder fires is if the Choke is on. If the Choke is not on, only the left cylinder fires and the right cylinder does not fire.

Please help?

What throttle position? Idle???

Starts OK...make sure the easy stuff, like slides in right...fuel line isnt pinched...the jets are all in and snug...etc. etc. etc....

Make sure you connected the tube that connects the carbs together.I forgot a few times and had the same problems as you

Nope, everything is hooked up correctly.

I just disassembled and reassembled everything. It is all tight and correct.

Right now the right cylinder will not idle or run out unless the choke is on. Once I turn thr choke off, the right cylinder goes dead. If I turn the choke back on, the right cylinder fires right back up. Throttle position doesn't change it.

Could I have possibly adjusted the floats too low to where the Idle Jet is unable to suck up any fuel in the right carb? The right cylinder Idles only when the Choke is on. Once I turn the Choke off, the right cylinder quits firing. No problems with the left cylinder.

Please help!

I removed those small plastic "Splash Guards" that are connected to the Main Jets. Would that affect the fuel level in the carbs, ie.: float adjustment needed?

Backcountry...Where are you!

put those plastic things back. It may be unrelated, but those are there to prevent fuel from frothing and foaming around the jets. Maybe try setting your float a little higher in the right carb.

Well, I put them back and no change.

I also raised the floats, but the overflow began leaking again.

Help!

Yes, but then it begins leaking through the overflow again.
