Got a Mule Moving

ancy · 10-05-2009

Well i got the fuel pump in one of the mules and it took right off. Now there is gas coming out of black tubes at the bottom of the carbs. Are these just drains? Is the fuel pump to much? Thanks

Multiple carbs and multiple tubes, it must be the 1000. Anyway, it is either stuck floats or float valves, or fuel pressure over 3-4 psi.

The two 3mm allen screws at the bottom of the carbs were lose. It looks like these are drains of some sort. Tightened them up and the leak stopped. I also think the pump I bought is like 4-7psi, but not seeing any more leaks or any thing coming out of the over flow. Will this over presser hurt any thing? Thanks

No, not as long as there is no flooding. The only thing that can happen is the pressure forces the float needle out of its seat, and then you would have flooding. No flooding, no problem!
