carb problems...HELP!

[kx254]

My 400 leaks gas out of the drain for the float bowl even when the screw is all the way in. I dont understand, because it even leaks when the bike is shut off. Please help?

Pull the bowl drain bolt out and make sure that the sealing washer is there. My guess is that it is missing or damaged. ;)

I took the (drain)screw out and it still has the good o-ring on it, I dont get it, it look flawless. I put it back in, turned the gas on, started the bike for 5 sec, shut it off and shook it and...yup it start to leak out of the drain hose again, I dont get it.HELP!

Is it leaking out the drain hose or bowl drain bolt? :confused: If it is leaking out the overflow tube then I would guess that the float is stuck or there is a piece of dirt in the valve. Either way you will have to take the carb off and remove the bowl to check.
