Carburetor Overflow

11/18/2009 2:00 AM

What are all the other causes for carburettor to overflow through breather pipes.

Tell causes other than the stuck float needle.

The carburetoor is positioned in an environment where the temperature is around 75 to 80 deg C

I would say the float itself. Those made from plastic may develop cracks, letting the fuel come into them. In this case the needle doesn't get stuck, but the buoyancy is totally or partially lost.

Float miss adjusted. Seal fuel reservoir.
