#293783 tbenach (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 18 Thanks for the help guys. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   Just wanted to say thanks for the help. It was the O ring on the float needle that was full of crud. I blew WD40 through the ports from the bowl area and it was the seat port that was open. Bolted a stock carburetor on my 1600 and gas is coming out of the vacumn port on the top/front of the carburetor. This is the port that connects to the air cleaner. Do I have a float problem or is this a vacumn piston issue. Thanks, AJ   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/07/07 00:22 By tbenach.   These are my two girls.

You are right the vent on the top that has the hose going to the bottom of the air cleaner. That is where gas is pouring out. It seems that when I turn the key on the pump starts pushing gas into the carb and that is when it starts to pour out of the top vent! What do you think?   Logged     These are my two girls.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:Gas coming out of the vacumn port on top. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   sounds like your float is stuck..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #293815 tbenach (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 18 Re:Gas coming out of the vacumn port on top. 1 Year, 10 Months ago   I checked the float and it is works fine. But I will take the bowl off and maybe blow out the needle seat area.   Logged     These are my two girls.
