Carb overflowing!!!!

[kaboom]

HELP!!!!

The front left carb is overflowing......


WTH causes that??

:ummm:

90% of the time it's a stuck float. Tap the float bowl a few times.

Drain that one carb into a clean cup or jar. Looking for little black particles to come out. That
carb is the first to get the crap that gets past the fuel filter.. It's the most straight shot to get
there. You may need to run and drain several times to get it all out...

Good Luck

I've had 'em stick on freshly rebuilt carbs too, that I knew were clean, maybe the dry viton was "clinging" to the float seat......

Give it a few good vigorous taps and usually it will go away never to return, if it's from trash then you'll need to do more prolly...

Tap where??:confused2:

OK....I see now....

I shall give it a try

THANKS!!!

I usually use a long socket extension to tap the carb body and use a ball pein hammer, this will sometimes work on an electric fuel pump if the points have stuck. Seeing those cordless battery Craftsman impact drivers they are selling now for driving nails, I wonder if they would work any better? Something to try if you already had one, but I wouldn't go out & buy one just for your stuck carbs.
