Carb dumping fuel.

[QuadJunkies]

We have a Keihin 20mm carb on my Sons Eton Viper. This is the first timewe have ever used it . When its running everything works fine, but when you shut it off, it sits for about 30-60 seconds and then it starts dumping fuel out of the Carb and doesnt stop until you shut the fuel off. We tried calling Keihin direct and got no where :rolleyes: . Any idea ideas what might be the issue?? We have pulled it apart and cleaned everything and it all seems fine ..:ermm:
thanks

float maybe sticking open

take the bowl off and check that the float is functioning properly
make sure when you put it together that the bowl or seal is not touching the float.

Sounds like the framing that holds the float might be twisted just enough to be making contact with the float bowl.Is the pin all the way in on the float?I run the same carb on ours and have not run into this problem.Try to remove the drain bolt on the bottom of the float bowl(with gas off of course),remove the main jet to allow more room to move the float.Try to move it up and see if it sticks or gets hung up at anytime.The only other thing to check I can think of is the pin might have a burr on it.
