can't stop fuel leak

[Steven]

Fuel flows out my drain tube under the carb and i can't stop it.

I just replaced the float valve and it still drains out the drain tube when the fuel is turned on.

I don't think its the drain screw because it takes the fuel a good minute or so to start leaking out once it is turned on.

What else can this be?

clean it and rebuild its all that you can do

yeah mine does that same thing i have cleaned it like 20 times, rebuilt it once replaces the float needle and the actual float and it still does it once in a while, its a pain, usually i just flush the carb a few times and it clears it up or if it dosent i ride it and the bouncing around stops it.

I would look into an aftermarket Carb. :confused:

i took it apart and cleaned it, what else do i need to replace or rebuild?

the overfueling also seems to cause a hesitation off idle when blipping the throttle in neutral.

help!

what else can i do?

You need to take it apart and let it soak over night in a parts cleaner.

I had this problem, I took it to a local guy he charged me $14 and it worked great.

i cleaned it again along with the gas tank and it worked. no more leaks. now if i can just gen the slow speed jetting down.

thanks, steve
