Re: [T3] Flooding carbs


<x-flowed>Hi all,

I seem to have fixed the problem :~)

I just used the tried and tested method of being ultra careful what parts I used and how I put them together.

PS. Touch wood!

The float valve is the part that stops fuel entering the carb. The cutoff
jet prevents fuel flowing through part of the carb with the key off.
Daniel's description of his symptom indicates uncontrolled flow, so your
instinct is good, but there's so much fuel involved I'm sure his problem is
less subtle.


Yes. I can't help feeling I'm missing something obvious, like a loose
jet or something. I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it eventually.


=> if (the float) is full of fuel, will it allow the needle => valve to fully close?

That would indeed cause overfilling of the carb, but he checked that, right
DB?



Yes.


Daniel
