Hi all,
I have a 49cc pocket rocket where i just put in a new carbie, now that went all well but now when i turn the fuel tap on the bike leaks fuel like crazy out of the plastic overflow tube and i have no idea whats going on, for starters i dont know anything about anything when it comes to mechanics, i just know how to ride, i have never had any problems with my bike in the past and now this so thats why i am here... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
unscrew the bottom of the carb (two bolts) and then wash the bowl, the float (plastic white part and the inside of the carb with clean fuel then put it all back together.
hey mate! i had the same problem not so long ago!
2 things what i encounted and fixed.
1. my throttle cable, i put it in wrong.. there is a brass needle that goes down the guts of the black tube, now.. make sure the needle goes down the guts, then a top washer!!! then the spring!
- if you have got the washer, then brass needle then spring.. well the needle will only travle up and not back down!
2. once you opened up the float. as explained by glen, above all that you will find another moveing part that goes up and down! with gentle hands, move it up and down, now if it is jamming up, then spray some wd40 down the needle hole, looks like a pin kind of thing! once that un jams, clean the bowl and all that jazz (making sure the white float - the ridged side faces the moving part with the needle) and hopefully you can yell.. wahla!

or you just take off the bowl (the 2 bolts at the bottom of the carb) and unscrew the brass ting sticking out then blow through it, it is probably blocked, so just unblock it and put it back in. i have never encountered any problems other than this with my cag

eh well he said something about another carbie so the throttle plays a part too, not putting the washer over the needle will leave the fuel flow.. as i think. eh fact is, tomoz is race day!! yeeeww!
