MJBaldwin Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Alight guys I have a question for you.. I put a new carb in my three wheeler got it running top notch and everything but now today I just go out to start it and take it for a little spin and when I parked it I noticed a large puddle of gas. I noticed that it was coming from the bottom of the carb where there is that hose that connects to it. I am just wondering what this could be it is only when I turn on the gas then it seems like its just puring out of there. Please let me know what you think I need to do on it I dont know a whole lot about them but I just am hopeing it is not a huge fix... Let me know THANKS!Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macgyver55 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Make sure the bowl drain screw on the bottom of the bowl is tight, but it sounds more like the needle valve on the float has something caught in the seat causing it to not stop the flow when the bowl is full.

MJBaldwin Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Which means that I would probably have to take the carb apart and check that needle on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 The "bowl" on the bottom of the carb has to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
