Honda CR500,fuel flowing straight out overflow??
Discussion
When running the bike there was a drip,drip,drip out of the overflow all the time.I took carb apart,small jet the float presses was free,float height seemed fine etc,jets were clear.But just for the hell of it i swapped the floats for other ones i had.Now as soon as i switch the fuel on at the tank the petrol flows as quick as its hitting the carb,straight out of the overflow?It just pours straight out!Funny thing is too the bike was going like stink,then when i got home up my concrete path i saw the lovely little trail of petrol behind me.I've a feeling im missing something simple?Anyone any ideas?,its a Keihin pj carb.
No fuel in the floats or corrosion.Im going to try and bend the tab on the floats so it will cut off the fuel in the bowl quicker,see if that makes a difference.(Oops,you go there before me!
)Still can't believe this bike went like stink all the way home with so much fuel flying out!
