Fuel leakage

[gmbymn948]

Just recently, i worked on my yz 250 and now that its back together, i have fuel leaking out of the tubing from the carb. By leaking, i mean draining. I didnt touch the carb during the rebuild, only removed the fuel hose. any ideas on how this could happen or how to fix it?

Sounds like your float on ur carb might be stuck....give the bowl a little tap with the handle of a hammer or similar tool...

any other suggestions? I knocked it a few times and nothing really happened...maybe pouring more fuel out. The bike runs fine with this....but something else is wrong

take the carb apart and see if its stuck or needs adjusted

yea....was hoping i would not have to do that

something is stuck in the float needle. clean the carb. it happened on my blaster, wifes trx 200 and my inlaws 06 foreman, used cans that had dirt in them, i put a fuel filter inline in them will take care of the problem

Hit it with a bigger hammer!!!

kidding!!!

Your float is stuck, I'll put money on it. Clean your carb, you'll love the way your bike runs after.
