What would need tinkering to stop my FCR's from pouring gas from the overflow? I'm not sure if they leak on flat ground much, but on any type of hill they pour gas. Would the floats need adjusted? I hate to mess with them because this thing is running so strong right now. I can lug on hills, and do just about anything I want without a stumble or hesitation.

 

I donno congrats on 2000 posts though.



bump!

 

I've been out looking at the carb's, and I think some is loose and it's just pouring gas all over the place. I'm going to have to take them off and check everything, cause gas has been literally dumping all over the back of the motor and swingarm.

 

I would say take it apart and look at the float needle, maybe it has a piece of dirt in it or your floats have fuel inside of them maybe the floats need adjusting.

I had the same problem with my stockers at one time.

 

Might have something to do with the floats. You got it hooked up right don't you? I mean is it possible you the fuel hose hooked up to the overflow outlet?

 

I would just keep adjusting the float level down to the point where it stops unless it starts affecting the performance of your machine from WOT operation and what not. It's a pain, but that's the only real way bout, do it in small steps, don't overshoot the adjustment and cause more problems than they'd be worth.

 

I'm going to check everything on the bike and see if anything is loose. It seem's like it's losing a lot of fuel. I'm going to take the pipe off and get a better look. Then elevate the nose of the bike and see where the gas is coming from. I started it today, but didn't since I rotated the tires, and washed and shined it. Tomorrow I guess I'll change the oil/filter and see if I can figure out the carb problem.

 

Hey dude...don't let that gas overflow thing go without fixing it. Gas doesn't play and will burn your prized quad to the ground.

Just like this: Raptor Death

I know you just dropped some dough in your quad. Get it fixed before riding it anymore.

 

Does the Raptor use FCR carbs?? I thought those were the carbs on the YFZ, CRF dirtbike, YZ450/250F & KTM 4-strokes. I re-jetted my friends Raptor carbs & they looked nothing like my YZ 450F carb.

 

No, FCR's are not stock, raptor uses mikuni's stock.
