Hi, yet another question!

Regretting buying this dt now..

When i pour fuel in my dt to start it up in the garden. It poures out the float bowl drain nipple thing. Ive cleaned the carb an jets etc an ive loosend an retightened the drain screw yet it still does it! ive cleaned the float an it moves freely, its not pierced either..

Anyone had this happen before?

I wouldnt mind if it did it but fuels expensive thesw days lol

thanks

Float height and clean or replace the needle valve.

is there a gasket missing from the bowl drain screw?

Ahh forgot to clean the needle! Cheers mate will try that, an no mate got the lot for the drain screw, but you reminded me i need an o ring for the mixture screw!

i dont see why fuel pissing out of the bowl drain is anything at all to do with the needle valve, float height, floats punctured...etc

Its a drain screw problem

I thought if the carb was over flowing it would come out the over flow pipes, thats why i asked. It sounded unuseual coming out the drain screw as thats sealed tight and used to drain fuel out the carb then sealed back up.

So it must be a problem with the drain screw?

Ill bodge it.. Petrol pipe an a self tapping screw in the end an im good to go lol

dont bodge it, fix it properly!

Half my bikes bodged..

Im slowly paying a fortune to fix them lol

Ill try loosening an reallly tightening it tonight an threadlock it. If not Ill try an pik up a new float bowl from the breakers when i pick up some more bits!

cheers!

you shouldnt need to tighten it to that extreme...just fit a small fibre washer under the head of the screw or wind a bit of ptfe tape around the threads

Thought of ptfe tape but thought the petrol would melt it.. Cheers mate i apreciate all the help!

always try to fix things properly without further damaging what you have already Oliver, if you use ptfe tape...remember to wind it onto the thread in the correct direction

I never new that.. I was just going to attack it with it. But ill take that in mind! Thank you

................................it poures out the float bowl drain nipple thing................................

I took the "bowl drain nipple thing" as the overflow. Maybe I can't distinguish between a nipple and a screw anymore!

dont let your misses here that!

Kicked her into touch years ago, thank god.
