yb_bandit Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 My YB has been has been peeeing fuel out of the overflow pipe for a while now, so i took the carb off today and discovered that one off the floats is letting fuel in, hence not shutting the float valve. anyone know where i can get new floats or a new carb?

fosdyke Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 NRP Manchester sirrius online Canada motoward yam dealer In the meantime you could try repairing the leak if its eay to get to with a hot 'knife' to melt the plastic (if the floats are plastic) - obviously be careful as you are working with petrol soaked parts - so dry them off thoroughly). Otherwise try some of the bike breakers - I got a load of stuff a couple of years ago from Ed's Bikes - sorry don't have the number but you could google him, or try ebay - he's on there sometimes. My YB always pisses petrol out of the overflow............thought it was just normal with these bikes!!!!
yb_bandit Posted December 16, 2007 Author Posted December 16, 2007 thanks for the help. They are made of brass, i found the leak, there was a section that had began to rot away and had little pin holes in it. I have re-soldered it for now but i dont know how long it will last
Rufio Posted December 17, 2007 Posted December 17, 2007 My YB doesn't drip from its overflow to my knowledge, I thought it was purely a cautionary thing but I will check when I head home and see how my carb is all set.
