Carburator secondaries!! please help
 

Ok ive found my idle problem when I took off my air filter and looked into my carb and both my primaries and secondaries are spitting gas into the carb, now I know thats not whats supposed to happen at least not at idle and thats when its is happening is this fixable or is it time to rebuild my carb?


thanks

Check the fuel levels in the float bowls. Theres windows on both ends of the carb. They are probably dirty. Clean them and check it. The rear one is hard to see. I use a mirror. It should be halfway up the window.

If float level is ok, sounds like sticking needles.

If the needles are sticking, you might be able to get them loose by tapping on the top of the carb with the handle of a screwdriver or something similar. Otherwise, time to rebuild, which might be the best thing anyway. I assume that you are using a stock fuel pump???

Yes I am using a stock fuel pump, Im gonna try tapping on the top of the carb otherwise Im going to rebuild, anyone know any good carb rebuilders in TORONTO???

thanks

i'd like to know too.

i have a stripped nikki carb that needs rebuilding, and im a little worried about doing it myself, i'd rather pay someone who knows what they are doing if anyone out there knows anyone

All i would do is order a gasket kit...it pretty simple to do it your self cuz not everything has to be relplaced...All you have to do it pull the top half of the carb off and replace the floats and needles...i know alot of the time the needles will go...and when you get the gasket kit it comes with everything except the floats but with the floats all you really have to do is readjust them to the factory height and make sure they are LEVEL...cuz if tilted a little bit the carb will flood out like crazy...and such as the bottom have all you really have to do is clean everything out really good...you dont even have take the hole carb off to do this...but its not a bad idea...well hope this helps...anyother questions just PM me...

just rip it apart follow the carb manual if your forgetfull take pictures im no mechcanicly inclined but i sure did it with no fustrations ild say the hardest part is adjusting floats just take time and follow mesurments and the exploded diagram where stuff goes ull be sweet

have a blast
