I have an 01 raptor 660 and am having carb problems. I initially had problems with the carb and cleaned it out (thought maybe some dirt in carb). Also the throttle spring on carb was hanging up so oiled that up well. Put the carb back on bike.
Bike started and was fine. 10 mins later I walked out to the garage and there was gas over the floor. I left the fuel at the on position and gas was coming out of the float drain. It would start to flow then stop. I tried tightening the screw, no dice. Bike ran like total crap and then wouldnt run, battery died from starting. Charged up battery. I then noticed gas had been leaking from my header pipe. So I figured gas must be pumping in so I decided to tear back apart. Then noticed gas in the air box (maybe got in there when I was pulling the raptor out of the garage since it wouldnt start). ... Somehow gas is pumping in the carbs, mustve filled up so much that it was going out the overflow tube to the bottom of the carb bowl... Floats seem to be working fine, not sticking while I have it apart....
I need any help or advice I can get . Please. Thanks...
