[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 176359, member: 2086"] What a great idea this was, thanks! I followed your directions exactly and repeated many times. The float assembly is working perfect. I rechecked the float height and I'm dead on. And the float itself is dry, no cracks and not taking in gas. This carb is ultra clean, set to manufacturer specs exactly, new gaskets, main, and slow jet, new fuel and vent lines, the works. I even dialed in the idler per specs which is done by actually twisting in and out the choke knob. Yes the only time I have seen gas exit the new overflow tube is when I have the carb out, and I have it tilted sideways or upside-down. As far as the spark, when I use your method I get good spark. However when I put on my timberland boots (which seem to be of little help), keep a plug in the cylinder, and one in the boot touching the head and kick with boots I am usually unable to generate a good spark. Amount of force required to kick it over is very high it seems, though the biggest I've had in the past is a 125. With the plug from the cylinder removed however, it is extremely easy to crank, and spark is good. Reed valve assembly looks great too. Though now I need a new gasket. I wonder if I would be better off just buying the whole engine gasket kit since it looks like im in for a ride lol. I did just order a pair of fly maverick boots for under 100 shipped. reviews looked very good, and specifications indicated it also has steel shank support I think at this point the previous 2 orders tried what they could to lean this bike out but never got anywhere. I might be over my head on this one, which is scary. [/QUOTE]
