I somehow lost the password. I love any help you can offer me
@Joel Levi instablaster =)
@Xzavier Dean I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Xzavier Dean it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
This guys made my day with his knowledge the part where he said the bouncy pump was the trick to fix my carburetor he is great and what i really really appreciate was such a short video because i hate to waste my time
worked for me ,I was only using my manual air pump. what happened was in the step when i opened my overflow screw nothing came out so I did next step and pump some air inside then some dirty gas came out like darkened gasoline but only a few then i pump some more air then more dirty gas came out and then redder clean one few seconds later, when it stopped spewing gas, tightened my overflow screw then turned it on with few tries like 25 kickstart, Good news was when it turned on no gas was leaking. This moment I will never forget in my life, more DIY wisdom. " thank you very much for sharing this informative video"
Hey bro 7 yrs later and the air compressor trick still helped me out thanks a lot bro 🙏
Thank you for this video, Let' Ride.
My issue was with a Yamaha EF2400iS generator which I take away yearly to boost the capacity of the four lithium batteries in the caravan.
Last year, I noticed diluted oil all over the ground sheet, but the generator still worked and I was able to continue using it.
But before my annual trip this year, I thought that I should investigate further, which lead me to your post.
Eventually, I gathered the necessary components to attach to the air pump and following your concise directions, I was able to blow the debris from the float bowl valve.
Unsurprisingly, the generator is now working much better than it did last year, thanks to your advice!
☺
Praises to you good sir. You just saved me from disassembling four, 40y/o carbourators, a job I was dreading.
Lmaoo i just disassembled my kz1100s 4 carbs
I have a Honda VFR with four carbs. When I needed them cleaned I happily paid a guy to mess with it. I took one look at the exploded part diagram and said “NOPE.”
thanks m8 I really didn't want to buy a new carby for my bike so I clicked on the first carby fix vid I found and it was yours and the first method fixed it cheers m8
you're a legend mate!! the air up the overflow pipe sorted out my carb, cheers
Same, I’m so happy I didn’t have to take apart anything
great video! no big preamble, straight to the point!
So helpful! Gonna work on bike tom. Hope trail life will be starting back soon
Thank you very much for making this video! I was about to go to the machanic but you safed me so much money. I’m doing it myself thanks to this video
You put float needle in upside down
Yeet
it was a chinese carb this model puts it in backwards
That can’t be. The rubber tip needs to seat. No where to seat upside down.
@AirlessGoose54 no, I have the exact same carb, he literally had it in backwards
@@Timmwardhow the fuck do you put it in right then?
Thanks for sharing, the rubber o ring was damaged on my carb which might have contributed to the leak as well.
Wow bro I appreciate it a lot u saved me 250 dollars man the bike shop said it’s a broken over flow or sum like that but I bllew air in it and it works fine now thanks bro I love u
The best video!!! Not just blow air thru it...badass work dude
I noticed the needle upside down too. LoL
Yes!!😂😂 n it wasn't old too
Yes I noticed it too. 👍👍🤪😂😂
Watched your video and blew air up my overflow tube and it worked! THANKS!
I see that this vid is a few years old, but the float valve seat was upside down. The rubber pointy part points into the center of the carb. If you really did reassemble the carb that way, I can not imagine how that would have stopped the overflow issue.
I was going to say the same thing .
Yes bro thank u so much my carberrator was leaking I didn’t kno why and u legit helped me so much with this video u don’t even understand how much u helped me god bless u❤
Thanks man very informative but you dont go on and on. This vid saved me alot of headaches great job bro
Joe Ashton thanks man! Glad it helped! Feel free to subscribe.
Your "float valve" (needle) was upside down on your demonstration, and you did not place the "new float valve" correctly into the prongs of the float, which will cause failure of the needle to seat correctly to shut off fuel.
what do you think is causing this? streamable.com/smlbx4
carbs were cleaned few seasons ago, inspected carb it looks extremely clean
You didn't explain how to fix that issue.
I was about to say that like hold on 😂
Great video man💪🏽💯 This is exactly what I needed To See ! Thanks
Thankyou so much! Im a girl and I dont know anythig about engines. Ive just bought a small ATV for my field and it started to dump petrol from that tube. Now I know where to look, how to turn it off, I didnt have an air compressor so I just blew up the tube, its only short. Im not sure I could take the carburetta apart but at least I have some idea of what is going on with that float.
It started and fuel isnt coming out at the moment but it usually happens when I ride it for a while.
Update, Ive just found my tyre inflator for my car so Im going to try that!
Thanks because of this simple video I fixed my son’s bike! 😊
Thanks a bunch! blew about 60 psi up the drain tube and didn't work. Then blew 100 psi for a lot longer and that did the trick.
Just what I needed to hear! Thanks! I’ll get to checking it and catch you later.
Best explanation on UA-cam .. thank u
Very helpful thanks so much bro you know your stuff I'm new at this
He don’t know nothing cause if he did he would notice the float needle is upside down and he took it out and put it back the same way clearly he don’t know his stuff. Follow @ Unruly Ryders I do it correctly 💯
Thank you . Resolved my problem and back on the trail ( this is very helpful till this day . 🤝🏽
Thanks, compressed air option solved the problem and just as important saved time.
The compressed air work out great 👍 👌 👏 thx..
Thanks a lot man! Had the same issue and your vid helped me fix it! 🙏🙏
The pointy part of the float needle should be pointing up (correct orientation of a carb) the pointy part is made of rubbery material so it can block and make a seal inside when the float do its thing.
Mine was facing downwards, do you think that was the reason my bike was overflowing?
Yes
he said that it was a traditional carb and he didnt relise
You legit just helped me fix my bike cause my dumb ass couldn’t figure it out for weeks! It’s working now cuz of u! Thank u bro
So glad this video could help and get you back riding!
Thank you man it really helps me. I appreciate your time.
Bro! Thank you so much....I put the float on wrong....duh...good job great detail A+
thanks for a nice video.and i was gonna ask you if my carburator ever gets dirty or clogged,can i just spray carburator cleaner to the hose and blow it with compressor?thanks again..
This video fixed my bike, Thanks!
Thanks for the video ill try it on my generator, but whats wrong with leaking the remaining gas on the groung?
Leaking the remaining gas on the ground could cause the pavement to stain, so I like to empty the remaining gas into a container. Glad this video could help!
Thank you my husband carburetor is leaking and this vidoe came in clutch very detailed without being unnecessarily long.
great video man, helped out w my issue 🤘
Great Vid....quick to the point and not alot of jibberish...hella smooth!
Short n sweet. Great job son.
This video helped me out a great deal. Thanks for the info bro.
Very good video bro, well executed and informative
I’m gona help you out let’s ride USA. Gas coming out of the drain tube is caused from either 1 a stuck float, 2 the float needle has debris or dirt inbetween the tip of the needle and the carb (not allowing the float needle to seat therefore causing the gas to overflow), 3 the rubber o-ring is bad on the drain screw or 4 the drain screw is loose.
Or 5: the float has a hole in it and isnt floating.
Is this issue common on new carbs? Picked up a used 4wheeler recently and it had a new carb installed on it. Fuel steady flows out the tube. I will try the air blast when I get a chance.
great video my question is i have a 06 Kawasaki kx450F i am leaking fuel from the overflow on the top of the carb overflow is this something different thanks
I tried this compressed air technique on my 2000 honda xr100r and it works well. Lol
So glad u helped me with this bro easy fix
Sweet fix very helpful not like other videos where they talk nothing but jibberish cool video
Bloody brilliant worked first crack after I did this thanks mate
i am not an expert but i tried opening and cleaning a motorcycle carburetor and i noticed even the first time that the needle and the float should be connected, if you successfully removed the float out from it's bowl the needle should come with it.
The gas line on my ltr only has the options of on, res, and prim what would I put it on or would I have to drain all the gas in the system completely
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to help!

" Before we begin, thank you. Thank you, all, thank you. Thank you. Thank you "
Helped me today on recent purchase, tap-tap wasn't enough. So strip out and wiggle did the job.
Very Helpful....I’m new to motorcycle riding and this was VERY HELPFUL!!!!!
Dude, float needle hangs on the float body, doesnt sit inside carb channel and upside down too. Point goes toward inside, not facing the float.
Just put an airfilter kit on my predator 212 and i have gas leaking out of my filter.... did i not put the jet on tight enough or could it be the bottom bowl not on properly or my spark pluf
Crisp and Clear. Thank you.
My ssr 125 pit bike leaks out of the over flow tube when I wheelie could tjat be the float valve???
Thanks man my bike rides very good now
Best video available thanks a lot
thanks, bro very helpful.
Does the end of the hose have a screw in it,mine is hooked to a metal piece with no scree in the end of it,and that's were it leaks gas if I try starting it with the throttle on.???
Does this apply to push mowers too?
Hi. I am a newbie to the bike stuff. I am seeing fuel leak from carburettor. Still figuring out what causing it.
I just want to know is about that drain pipe. Is that left free or should we connect it somewhere cos while I was cleaning I saw it was hanging below, was a bit frightened. And after seeing your video the tube just hangs out. Is it okay... Please let me know.
Still need help?
It’s their to drain excess gas from the carb it supposed to be dangling their
I'm confused was that float falve upside down pretty sure it was
Yes def was
Ok this kinda helps but the carburetor on my 4 wheeler leeks out of the drain tube on the bottom of the bowl when I put gas in the tank and the float is not stuck it just leeks so et me know what the problem is
you need to check all the rubber seals on the carb, there's also a possibility that you have an o ring on the pilot jet, it's the little hole that has the fuel coming through it, unscrew it and check the O-ring, might have to replace it, needs to be air tight in that tunnel where the pilot jet sits.
This video was very helpful
I have a Apollo dbx18 dirt bike that has a carburetor where I can't get to the float. the cover is riveted on. so I guess get a new one?
My problem: i need new needle, but i live in Serbia, and there are no parts for my dirt bike (ttr90) in Serbia. I dont want to buy it on ebay because i hate waiting 3 months for package to arrive, and shipping price is huge, like 70$ shipping.
Just bought an ssr out the box and it was leaking think i should clean it even tho its new?
was trying to fix my carb very similar to yours but the O-ring came loose.. it's like impossible to get it back into place
Anyone have any thoughts on why fuel would drip out of the carb overflow valve when everything seems perfect with the needle and float? i cleaned it all out, making sure the needle could freely move and that there are no cracks in the float. this is driving me bonkers.
Have the same issue atm, ordered a new needle and float.
@@Mister_Michael did replacing the needle & float fix the fuel supply flow?
I haven't got them , will let you know
@@Mister_Michael did it fix the problem?
@@proarmy70 yes it did, I also added a fuel shut off valve in between the fuel supply
My 08 yamaha zuma is doing this I hope this fixes it ty
Where can you buy float values?
i dont think all floats are spring loaded, as far as "bouncing back"
read the video discription
So if my floats are stuck it will leek from the overflow tube only? My carb leeks I think from air fuel mixture screw any tips
There are rubber rings seals on the drain screw they tend to deteriorate over time and also they get lost. you can pick up new ones online or at your local motorcycle shop.
@@iam2much5 or get a new fuel mixture screw
Can you also do this on a 49 cc carb
Where can you buy new overflow pipe mine fell off?
Wtf he literally has the needle in backwards
Can I just tighten the overflow screw
Wait isn’t hat flout valve in upside down?
What makes the valve bad exactly? My float moves freely and I cleaned the valve and it looks fine but still leak
Could be crud from old gas. Try hosing it out w GumOut.
clean it again and also with compressed air, and also replace o ring
This vid helps but fast forward it a bit

How do I order the correct valve for a specific carburetor?
Any links to buy that valve?
this was the problem and it workt thx ❤️❤️
I didn’t have compressed air so I used a straw and my mount and it worked
How can i find the float valve that fits my carburettor?
I have Dellorto PHBN 16 hs.
thanks...some useful info re sticking float.....
great video thanks for the help buddy🤝
My bike also had the same problem! Need someone to fix this!😭🙏🏻
4:25 Dude your float needle is upside down ha. The rubber tip of the needle is suppose to go inside the carb not on the float. Thats why your float wasnt working. Theres no way the needle can seal the fuel from leaking if its upside down like that
I have this problem on my mx80, my bike just wants to die and just sputters slowly till dead
Welp idk
This wasnt published on April then whats about the upside down needle :O
Thanks you helped me
Thank you very much. This helped a lot! :)
Mine is still leaking after a good clean and replacement, what do I do
Hope it work changing my float valve try everything else
