This is with the bike perfectly vertical....whats going on?
Foxx4Beaver:
could be as simple as a grain of sand causing things to stick...a thorough cleaning of the entire carb should be in order regardless...
the other thing, your float valve and/or your float valve seat may very well be worn....try a new OEM float valve, that should cure it...
it's a pretty common thing that wears out.
Foxx4Beaver:
just to clarify...try getting a new float valve....what happens over time, is the rubber tip gets worn, and doesn't seat good...
stujordan:
Foxx....I first tried cleaning the entire carb with throttle body cleaner and a wire brush...now she works...me and Widow Maker thank u once more :)
Foxx4Beaver:
excellent!...glad it was as simple as needing a good cleaning...if it does it again, try a float valve...now roost on!! :mrgreen:
