Eiger Fuel Issues
As a suggestion to those who own Eiger's with a flooding over problem.
Before going through the nightmare of pulling the carb I suggest you check the vacuum line from the intake to the pet-**** for any fuel first.
My 2005 Eiger with just 490 miles on it started flooding over, pulled the carb twice cleaning it, adding inline filter and, in general just going nuts trying to figure out why it continued to flood over. Only on the third time of pulling the carb did I pull the vacuum line off to find raw fuel coming out of it. There was a hole in the diaphram of the vacuum fuel pump (on the pet-****) and the engine vacuum was sucking raw gas straight into the intake/engine. Suzi doesn't offer a rebuild kit and the best price I can find for a new pet-**** was $77.00 at Bikebandit.
Just a heads up for those with flooding issues.
