i am having a few problems with my bike. I am leaking a lot of gas out of a overflow tube while the bike is running i have already tried adjusting the floats lower but that didn't help any. any ideas? Also my bike seems to pull hard on the bottom and mid but if i'm at half throttle and i punch it to full it doesn't make any difference it almost feels slower. it's not running bad on top it's just not pulling. any help would be appreciated

 

Sounds like a stuck float. Mine got stuck, for some reason it didn't drain out the vent and filled the ait box and crankcase. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Anyways, that may be it.

 

thanks usmc but i dont think its stuck it seemed fine when i took it apart and adjusted them

 

Thats what I said- Until it happened. Luckily its still under warrenty (for me) and is headed to the shop. Let them deal with it.

Good luck.

 

it could be debris stuck in the float assembly. pull the float out and look at the needle and seat to make sure there is no dirt or anything in there.

 

i guess i'll tear it apart again and check for that

 

While you have it apart remove the float needle valve and check to see if a ridge or groove has formed into the rubber seating area. Any signs of a mark and it's wise to replace the valve assembly.
The problem can only be too high a float bowl level, the possible causes are:
1. Bad float,
2. Float not adjusted correctly or sticking (in this case a low probability),
3. A leaking needle valve (most probable), causes: a. Foreign body in the valve assembly, b. Worn needle valve (most probable).
These are just my thoughts. Keep us posted.

 

thanks a lot traildog
