Leaking fuel - PocketBikeForum.com

Hic · 07-31-2007, 03:47 AM

When I start up my pocket bike, the wheels spin automatically even if I don't press the throttle. It doesnt stop, it keeps going for minutes. My brother adjusted something that looked like a screw near the tube that fuel flows through. The auto throttle problem is fixed now, but one of the tubes near that area is leaking now. The tube doesnt seem to lead anywhere, it's just lying out there and fuel is leaking out. There are 2 tubes, one black and a translucent one. The translucent one is leaking, and it doesnt look like it'll attach to anything. The black one brings fuel to the spark flug I think, or something that looks like a spark plug. That one is not leaking, but the translucent one is. Is the tube supposed to lead no where? And how do I fix this problem? Thanks everyone for your help ^^

Do you know if the tube is supposed to lead anywhere? =/

no that tube is doing its purpose, when the float gets stuck open gas comes in and fills up now without that tube it could lead into your engine and flood your engine. So gas comes out of there, now i would recomend that you clean your carb. Here is a tutorial on how.

The translusent or clear tube is for gas to overflow thru...
Meaning your float is stuck

The black tube is the gas tank supply tube, to the carb.

Cag07Dude.....please.......dont talk/post when your not sure
of what your posting/talking about.....

Cag07Dude....HicDude just posted this...

"I'm almost done taking out my carb."

HicDude is doing what he is supposed to do...
Meaning...He is getting to know his Mini....
Most Newbies ask first. But then dont discribe
in detail their problem with enough information
due to lack of experience. But he did a great job
of describing his problem....and now that he
has a clue where the problem lies, he's on it.
"Dhooooo" is a reference to wrong or incorrect
advice. Yes I make mistakes too.....but in this case
all the information HicDude articulated helped
to discern his dilemma. And the consensus of
support was unanimous ....'sept ....well ....
your input. Admittedly so.
The next time I make a mistake....You are
wecome to "Dhoooooo" me. Please feel free
to Dhooooo Me when that happens. I will be looking
forward to it. And when that time comes....
You'll be da man.....I promise, I will reconize
your achivement as "Good one Dude, ya got Me"
furthermore...."Attaboy" and lastly..."You da Man"
