feul out bowl overflow

[Brehmmotorsport]

I just replaced my stock pilot with a 42 I have to drain my feul now due to running u4. but now when I turn out the screw to drain the feul I get feul running out the line on the bottom of the bowl. Is this normal I never noticed this before. I thought the feul only came out when the screw came out. I already tore it apart the floats are not sticking so I am a little confused.

completley rebuild the carb, check the pins on the floats, sometimes you just have to pull them out and put it back in.....

That's perfectly normal. You loosen the screw to drain the bowl. The further you loosen the screw, the faster it drains. Don't remove the screw entirely. Ensure it's tight after reassembly.

Dont do that. Its normal, it doesnt need to be turned all of the way out.

It wasn't the fuel/air screw he removed. He took out the DRAIN SCREW. It's designed to allow you to drain the bowl prior to disassembly. Loosen it to allow fuel to come out the drain line. It did exactally what it was designed to. It's just not meant to be removed entirely.
