Gas Leak - Page 2 - PocketBikeForum.com

Androu · 08-11-2006, 02:53 PM

so i picked up the end of my bike and dropped it a couple times and i think it temporarily worked but either way the gas still keeps leaking
Also bad news, my bike is still f*&#ing stalling

If i upgrade and get a new carb (a 14/14 stock c1 carb), u guys think these 2 probs will away??

Androu · 08-11-2006, 05:32 PM

ok wow, so it stopped stalling for a while so ii'm hoping it will stop for good, but it is still leaking gas, i turned the engine on and lifted the back tire and pulled the throttle a lot and as the tire spun rlly fast, gas was spitting out from the carb

I'm wondering if i get a new carb (stock c1 carb) will this gas leak and carb go away?

If i buy a new carb will my gas leak go away
also what about the stalling prob, will that most likely go away too?

beester · 08-12-2006, 06:29 PM

yea the problem is in the carb so if you get a new one the leak will stop.

gas spitting out the carb usualy means reed are fuxed..in my vast experience..
um haha

beester · 08-12-2006, 06:31 PM

that could be because he did take them out to check them he may have put them in backwards, wrong or not tight enough

Androu · 08-12-2006, 09:46 PM

ok i will get on that, i hoope fixing the reeds helps, but the leak and gas spitting is before the reeds (more to the back-end of the bike!

1. Remove carburetor from bike (easier to work on)
2. Remove float bowl (on bottom of carb)
3. Remove pin holding float forks, remove float forks and overflow needle
4. Remove petcock
5. Blow out tube beneath petcock with compressed air, check to make sure no loose particles are in tube
6. Bend float forks up about 1/8"
7. Reassemble float forks and overflow needle
8. Put petcock back on
9. Put carburetor back on bike, and try restarting

why would you have to bend the fork again? when i cleaned out my carb, i just blew compressed air thruogh it, let it soak in carb cleaner, then put it back together and other than breaking the gasket everything worked great.
