Hello
i just bought a 2002 banshee its wicked but av got odd problem with it. once i bin riding it and stop, i leave it about a 1min the carb overflow on the right carb will start leaking petrol while ever the petrol is turned on, once i turn it off its right. any clues to the problem. i think something has muck in it? but what?

THanks in advance

 

Your carbs need to be removed and cleaned then adjust the floats. This should take care of your problems.

 

Hello thanks for the info r the carbs exactly same as blasters? av had them stripped down completely?

Cheers

 

I agree it's the float.Clean the carb. and check to see if the float is adjusted right.How to check and adjust?Take the carb. off the bike.Now remove the bowl.Flip the carb. upside down.Place a 6 in. scale beside the float and on top of the gasket.It should be between 20-22 mm.or .80-.88 in.Float not set right?Remove the pin that holds the float to the carb.Be careful not to lose the pin or the fuel valve.Holding the float upside down,use a flat head screw driver and gently press down on the small tab of the float that rides against the fuel valve.The fuel valve is the part the float rises up to that shuts off the fuel.Hope this helps.Trying to put on my photos a picture to help with this.

 

your needle and seat could also be worn out.....be careful when putting backl together because the two floats are different...the carb with the choke has a different float then the one without the choke lever.

 

Hey again well i have had the one without (right side) a choke today apart and cleaned that was all well and good but went out came back and opposite one is leaking now lol

BIGCHEVROLET
how is the two floats different in the carbs r they set at different heights? i need a service manual does any1 av one?

 

i am sorry i kind of left my thought incomplete..i meant the float bowls are different the one on the left has some different porting for the choke and starting...i understood that you had them both apart and it will be very hard to start if the bowls are switched around...sorrily from experience...

 

Hey ppl i finally found the problem to y it was leaking, i checked all the carbs for dirty n the float height all perfect then just building it all back up and noticed needle jet was bent so i gotta get a new 1 of them, i havent a clue how that could have bend any ideas?

Cheers
