Title: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by Struch on 01/09/16 at 03:06:24 Ok I clean my carburetor and change out floating needle. all was good but it started to get cold and one morning I started it and it wasn't starting right up because of 38-40 degrees but it started to leak fuel my guess from this vent tubes under the seat ((. What I can do to fix it? :'( |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by Steve H on 01/09/16 at 07:31:13 If you're leaking fuel from the vent tubes, your float valve isn't sealing properly in the carb. Disassemble, clean, check condition, reassemble or replace needle and seat depending on condition then reassemble. Always verify float height when you change the needle or the float. Check your oil for gas. |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by Struch on 01/10/16 at 01:53:17 Thanks for answer ) Ok I will pull it out tomorrow to clean and so forth. How I can set the level of the float??? Because that what I re-please a month ago. I got oil changed yesterday so I guess I'm not going to be able to check for fuel in it ( and if I'm going to block this tubes what that going to do? I have Raptor. |

Those vent tubes need to be open and operating.....they are there for a reason (to vent). I think it is a bit weird that they extend so far up - but perhaps the idea is that if you tip over and the bike is upside down...the fuel will not flow onto the hot cylinder head. |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by Struch on 01/13/16 at 11:10:34 Ok I took it a part and guess I found it >:( it is a floater! The floater is not hermetic and one of the sides half full with gas :'( Well I'm glad that I found it and so on but her is The ? Can I solder it after drilling it out empty it and so on did some one had that problem??? Tanks |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by Dave on 01/13/16 at 12:19:41 Well, yes....they can be soldered....but it is not easy. You can drill the hole, and drain it, then when you try to solder it back up the expanding air inside wants to blow the solder out of the hole....or the cooling air wants to suck the solder inside.....or you heat it up too much and unsolder the float from the mounting arm. (You also have to be sure you soldered up the leak that let the fuel get inside). |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/14/16 at 00:07:38 A wimpy soldering tool means that you have to hold it on longer, creating the problems Dave describes. Clean the area, apply flux, get solder on the tip of the gun, stick it on the area, hold till you see it flow. If it sucks in /blows out, no biggie, Now it's tinned. Now the solder just needs to stick to solder. A damp sponge cools the tip The cooler tip has less resistance Lower resistance increases current flow That increases temperature Cool it Stab the tip into your flux Apply solder to the iron Touch the spot If that doesn't get it, id be surprised. If you don't already have soldering tools, probably ahead just buying a float. |

Haven't had it in the bike yet, but it appears to have fixed the issue. just fill the hole with it and wait for it to dry. |

If they are really tiny - it might not hurt anything as long as they aren't letting so much air pass through that the piston isn't raised against the spring pressure. I would be tempted to put a tiny amount of RTV sealer or Superglue on the holes. |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by KennyG on 01/15/16 at 11:23:21 Good Year Pliobond is the very best contact cement ever made. I have been using it for 60 years. Plumbers, counter top makers and shoemakers use it extensively. Kenny G |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/15/16 at 20:40:37 And I have a almost New quart of Less than great contact cement. Rats. |

Title: Re: carburetor vent/valves ? Post by KennyG on 01/15/16 at 20:49:06 Justin, Depending on what you are using the contact cement for you really don't have to have Pliobond. I have Weldwood brand and I use that for odd and end jobs around the house and shop. Kenny G |
