gas leaking

[langlais23]

I just bought a blaster and was wondering if anyone could help me out? So on the back of my carb there is a fuel line (I would guess) and it leads to nothing and gas just pours out. I was wondering of it was supposed to be connected to anything or not?. It is 8th the dead center of the back of my carburetor

That's your overflow tube. Gas shouldn't be coming from there.

You need to adjust your float height to stop it from over flowing as it is

 

[speedyslyder]

make sure the little screw next to it is tight,or your float needle is sticking,or not adjusted proper

I know this may sound unintelligent but I am new to atvs, but how would I adjust this? Thanks

check that little screw on bottom of carb to it is a drain screw

And would I just tighten this screw you are talking about or loosen it?

 

[speedyslyder]

tighten,be carefull the head can strip easily or might even already be stripped

 

[langlais23]

OK thanks

ose on bottom/back of carb bowl is the drain. Only used to remove water, debrie, or emptying bowl for storage. Hose higher up on each side are vent/overflow hoses. You definately either need a Clymers repair manual, or find the download manual on the site. Check both lincs below, especially the second one.

I wouldn't touch the drain unless necessary. If it is leaking from the drain, with petcock off , turn CCW a bit so any dirt can flow out. Then tighten clockwise until snug. DO NOT King Kong it.

The drain also acts as an overflow, if the float is set wrong or there is dirt or a varnish buildup in the needle and seat assembly the excess fuel will flow out of the drain.

If you see the tube at 45 deg it drains the excess fuel from the float bowl in cases of flooding.

On my carb there are two inlets on the right side of the carb ... One I believe was for the oil injection system which has been eliminated and the other has no hose on it and when I was removing the carb gas came pouring out I assume it's an over flow? Any links to diagrams on the mikuni vm29 which is what I believe is on my 03 blaster

yep overflow, should have a short hose on it that runs down and goes thru a little eyelet on the rear bowl screws that hold it in place, it extends just below the bowl to free air
