Big shout out to motorb! Good trip out to Karaka to charge up the yammy's battery on someone else's petrol

He pretty much showed me how to clean a carb properly haha. And ta daaa the bike goes mint!

So my winter project lasted 2 weeks and $60. Ah well time to smash the paddocks up now

managed to almost completely empty the r6 tank too! did a few rounds of the block before shelving her (rego to go on hold for 3 months) and man that thing is a weapon! tis a pity the brakes still dont work.....

as for The Growler, a bit of fine tuning with the air mix and a good thrashing for a day or two to blow what's left of the cobwebs out and she'll be mint. all that's left is work to tidy her up and make her look pretty

still running rich, but runs so sweet and all she needed was unblocked jets

Yep I'll play around with the air screw and see how it runs.

Now just gotta find me some sticky velcro for the viffer

Went for a few km ride today... That is, until I realised it was pissing out petrol haha! So I gapped it home, along with some mean backfiring!

What causes fuel to keep pouring out the overflow tube? A stuck float... Anything else? Cause I quickly took carb apart and made sure float was moving freely, and it still pissed out. Though I guess the float could have got stuck again as soon as I bolted carb together?

GR! Wanna go for a burn tomorrow morning and wreck some havoc, so what do I need to rule out?!

**motorbyclist** · 29th July 2009, 19:32

float valve seal may have split....

Is that the only other reason? Biiiitch, is the float valve supposed to be able to just come out? Where is the seal?

**Squiggles** · 29th July 2009, 20:30

On the GN the seal is on the strainer like brass insert that the float valve comes up into to block

Hmmm in the carb diagram in the manual there is no seal or anything near the float valve

**Squiggles** · 29th July 2009, 20:48

You're clearly fucked then.

Though I could light the petrol leaking out and have a flame trail so I can find my way home

Hmmm tomorrow I'll see if it's still leaking out the overflow after I checked out the float tonight.

If there is a split seal, surely I should be able to find it somewhere haha.
