View Full Version : 300ex carb overflow when wheelie-ing???

On my '96 300ex when I'm getting my wheelie on, the two hoses for the carb overflow (I'm assuming this is what they are) leak fuel profusely. If you plug one hose the other hose leaks and vice versa. If you plug both hoses the bike bogs and dies. I've had other 300ex's that never leaked fuel like this. This bike runs like a scalded ape otherwise so I don't know what is causing this issue. Is the float mal-adjusted??? I would sure appreciate any advice..



By the way I'm new to this forum...... Howdy everyone... My name's Chad, I'm do stunts.. I'm from Waco TX, and I like to party.

Every 300ex i've seen done this. Just the overflow.

Yea I don't know. I've owned 2 other 300's and I don't remember ever seeing either one pour fuel out these tubes.

Mine just trickeled out a bit. Looks like more cuz there is air in the hose or gas or something.
