Carb float levels

<< < (10/10)

In my case they did. Here's the variety I've tried. All resulted in issues. Basically there are two problems a float valve can have. A needle that's sticking in the valve. Tapping can help. Also a fuel system cleaner additive can help. A needle not perfectly shutting the valve is the other problem. A tiny particle of dirt can cause this. Again: tapping and flushing by opening the drainscrew and opening and closing the petcock. With the OEM fuel filter in good order, there's no need for any extra filtering.

By oem fuel filter I assume you mean the filter on the fuel tap inlet inside the tank ?

deltarider:
Yes.
