  • DISCLAIMER: this was a Chinese carb used in the video and the float was inserted the wrong way then it would in a traditional carburetor. Put the float valve in the opposite way than what is depicted. The black needle side should be facing down and the other side contacting the float.

    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"

    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!

    @hmroa3056 5 років тому +22

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • @Luburium
      @Luburium 4 роки тому +1

      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.
