bike-nut67 Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 hi folks, help needed just stripped and cleaned carbs after bike bn sitting for yrs starts great now, but petrol is coming out of overflow pipes is this down to float needle or what???
Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 6, 2011 Moderator Posted November 6, 2011 The floats not working, the float needles not closing or the float heights too high, normally.
Exitpest Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I had the same problem with my TDM, I serviced both carbs with a new floats and needle kit. My newest bike a 1994 XJ600s, was so much easier to work on. As i cleaned all 4 carbs and fitted new inlet rubbers, in a quarter of the time of the TDM. Good luck. Andy
wild foamy Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Check the float valves and lower them, the floats are not cutting off the fuel supply so the excess fuel is coming out of the overflow
