[USER=2874]@seanrideshard[/USER], this is OssaGPs reply to you that was lost in a qoute....


OssaGP: Ok. So now you need to see why the float needle (together with the float seat, those two items become a valve) and seat are not coming together and shutting off. I do that two ways: one is to put a piece of fuel line on the carburetor that is long enough to hold the carburetor up at eye level and still fit in my mouth so I can exhale through it. While I do that I work the floats through their arc and you can tell if the valve is trying to shutoff or not when it is in the measured position.


Keihin carburetors will sometimes develop a leak down the back of the brass sleeve that the needle rides in. you can fix that with epoxy.
