#388232 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 949 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I would try a new needle and seat. I have never heard of one puking while running!! To much fuel in bowl! Has to be the needle not set good... leaking by an causing your problem. If as you say the float level is correct. That is more than likely your problem....   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #388262 Tstar (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I ordered the 2.5 needle recomended in the tech article on fuel pump removal. I figure when it comes i can swap it and if that doesent work then try the fuel pump removal mod and see what happens.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #388265 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Just for shit and giggles, isn't there a small O ring somewhere around there that everyone always says to watch for, cause it's easy to lose when ya take that bowl apart?   Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #388268 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Moderator Posts: 14671 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Are they in good shape? If not get new ones if they are flattened and don't look like they will seal well.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #388279 Tstar (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   They look alright but your right Curt since i'm going after the needle and seat i should just replace the o-rings also. Can't be more than $10.00   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #388357 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Tstar - when you have the float valve out look up in the opening where the O'ring seats and see if there is a black looking accumulation up there. If there is then it needs to be cleaned out before installing the new valve. I think it's possibly caused by deterioration of the O'ring, I'm not sure but mine leaked until I cleaned that out.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #388428 coalstoves (User) Are YOU Sure Expert Boarder Posts: 559 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   For less than $35 shipped I got the Needle & Seat set and the bowl gasket and lil O-ring for the accelerator pump hole in the bowl . Ethanol is hard on the seat O-ring and it only uses compression from a set screw to seal it vs. Threads, you will almost be guaranteed to find residue around the ring and deposits left from the O-ring   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/06/15 23:11 By coalstoves.   My Bikes Page SEAT LINK 1999 XV1600AL - ROAD STAR Never Time To Do It Right But Always Time To Do It Twice   The administrator has disabled public write access. #388708 Tstar (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 100 Re:Carb Puking 1 Year, 11 Months ago   It's fixed you guys wre absolutly right it was the O-ring on the seat $20.00 at a local shop they had 1 in stock and i had it swaped in alittle under 2 hrs. i dident notice it the first time i pulled the seat because the o-ring was still wet from fuel this time i let it sit out and dry and then it was clear deteriation on 2 spots 180 out from each other. Thank you to everyone that helped me out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
