Carb flood/ hessitate when roll on

[Hamsie]

Hi there.

My max startet to act funny. Hessitates on roll on, But power comes at higher rpm´s.

Pulled the airbox for a peashooter and noticed this "flooding" from one of the carbs.

I made a vid on youtube, if one of you have the time to look it would be great.

I know you cant say for sure whats wrong, but maybe point me in the right direction.

Probly a stuck float, tap the cover of that carb with a rubber mallet or screwdriver handle, see if it stops.

You could also shut it off, drain that carb down and let it re-fill, might flush any particles out.

Yep, always a good thing to drain the carbs, and just see if you have crap in the fuel....etc.

Would be wise to identify what the "crap" is.

Thanks ppl, ill try and drain + wack it :-D.

Yeah. My bike did exactly the same thing a few years ago. The"crap" that came out of the float bowls was the rubber from the fuel lines past the filter that was falling apart.

Update :
Nothing happend with the drain and wack. But i tryid another thing i found online.
Opened drain screw, and blew carb cleaner into the black rubber drain hose and into the bowl.
Let it sit for a vile and then drain and wack again. Now it seems to work again :-D Thx ppl.

Just for info, if this didnt work, was the next step to pull and clean carbs ?
