Re: carbs flooding

Did you adj. the float? if its blow back from the carb,its possable to have bent/broken reeds.

Re: carbs flooding

float is new adjusted to new specs with float. if the choke passage is blocked would that flood carb

Re: carbs flooding

If you are sure you rebuilt the carb correctly, like Ben said, that is a symptom of a bad reed,
