Ok,
Wanna go sledding tommorow but we have a AC carb issue we can't figure out:
Machine:
98 Powder Special, 38mm mikuni carbs
One of the carbs will not shut off the fuel when the float is full. If you remove the carb and hook up a hose to it and turn it upside-down the weight of the floats shuts off the valve well enough that I can't blow air though it, but when I install it and turn the fuel on, the floats fill with fuel, but they don't shut off the valve and fuel starts leaking though the jets until you turn the fuel off again.
I think the floats are getting jamed but we tried swapping the float bowls on the carbs and the same carb continues to leak fuel. Nothing looks funny, nothing is bent, the tang looks fine, just can't figure it out.
If anyone has a suggestion I would love to hear it because we just can't figure it out...
Thanks,
schu
