1997 kx250 carburetor problem

azduster · 01-18-2007

I have a 2001 kx 250 that I just installed a 1997 kx250 top end on and also used the 1997 carb. Bike started well and ran fine for app 5 minutes then stalled, upon examination I noticed the gas was running out of the carburetor. There are two vent hoses towards the top of the carb and depending on which way the bike is tilted depends on which one the gas flows out. lean left leaks out of left side lean right leaks from right side.

Anyone know what the problem is?

float height is prob. off a bit. as for when it pours out, how "far" are you leaning it over ???

Thanks, when I pulled the bowl off I noticed the rod that the float hinges on was off to one side and the bowl was actually stuck. Pushed in rod put carb back on and vrmmm vrmmmm. Tanks again
