Newbie here. New project too! Quad been sitting for awhile. I took carb off and cleaned up, put back together. Even took pics before I disassembled but they ain't helping. Is there a fuel line/hose diagram anywhere available? Bought Haynes manual but not the best manual in my opinion. Love them for my vehicles but they are trying to cover too much in one book to get specific enough for my needs. After putting back together, I have fuel dripping from bottom of carb. Any ideas?
thanka in advance....more to come I'm sure.....
Assuming you have got the fuel pipe fitted correctly and that drain screw is tightened down, the fuel is overflowing because the float needle is stuck open. Often happens when you remove the tank or carb. I guess dirt in tank or pipe gets flushed into the carb when you disturb things, and sticks between float needle and seat. I usually try switching the tap off and running the bike until it stalls, then open the tap, the rush of fuel may dislodge the dirt. If that doesn't work, dismantle the carb again and clean the needle and seat. Checking you get the float back properly and, if the needle is adjustable, that you haven't altered it.
