Carb float levels

<< < (3/10) > >>

Neill C:
What's the answer there then. Do I keep replacing the valve and seat until I find one that doesn't leak?

Johnny4428:
Neil try a cotton bud in a drill with a little tooth paste and polish up the valve seat. I’ve been lucky never had a problem with these seating. Careful inspection with magnifier too at tip of valve.😉

Neill C:
I'm going to try that. Thanks

Matt_Harrington:
As the carbs are on the bench, try swapping the valve etc over with one that doesn't leak and see if the overflow moves with the valve. Just a thought.

A drill is too much and asking for problems.  Do it by hand. It takes very little, maybe one turn.
