What did you do about the leaking?

 

these carb are touchy when it comes to setting the float i got another float and all is good now that brass peice was a problem for me

 

So you ripped it out and its better now?

I didnt wanna rip mine out, because of people saying it leaked, I did shorten it, and I am having the same problem.

 

yes that brass pin stops the bowl from droping all the way i was getting pissed cause i did not know what was causeing the problem it would run good for awhile then it would act up by the way just pull it out it could be put back in later if you wanted it to

 

But that pin is for the overflow, if that is out, wouldnt it drain all the fuel as soon as it gets in the bowl?

 

the pin is about 1/4 of a inch high it has a roundish top . pm you email and i can send a pick of this pin

 

let me know if u get it

 

Ok. I got it. I'll have to go out and look at mine.

I went out and treid to ride again today, Started it up, rode at low throttle for a few minutes, checked the plug, black and wet. I am running a 38 pilot with the clip second from the top. 175 main, air screw 1.5 out, roughly 1050 feet above sea level.

I assume i need a smaller pilot.

 

no you might be okay with the 38 pilot i would drop the main when i had my 38 pilot in i think i was out about 2 turns try a 170 main u might have to lift the needle back to the middle you will know when u are on the right track as it will pull good

 

two turns on the air screw?
