Carb Overflow
in General Tech Discussion
10 years ago
I have a carb that keeps on overflowing. I bought 2 x carb overhaul kits and replaced all components in the carbs. Floats, needle, seat, diaphragm etc etc. I also cleaned the carbs properly. Looking at the engine from the prop side, it is the carb on the left that is dripping fuel, generously.
On starting all if fine, but the carb that was overflowing, is still doing exactly the same thing.
The compensation aluminium pipe between the carbs, has holes in it, so I replaced it with a normal rubber tube, can this be the cause? I had recommendations that the engine mountings might be warn, causing the engine to shake, thus overflowing the carbs, this is not the case. Engine is stable and smooth.
Any ideas? Recommendations? Advise? I hit a brick wall :pinch:
