Title: Carb question(overflow tube)? Post by: Inyourdraft2000 on April 17, 2005, 10:23:05 AM The over flow tube on the back of my Carb(Honda 400ex) constantly is leaking gas when I get on the throttle or ride wheelies. I can see it doing it while up on a wheelie but why is it leaking so much. Can someone tell me if I need to rebuild the carb or what to do. Thanks 8)

If your bike is more than a few years old you may want to have a kit handy. Some aftermarket kits are less than $20 and include the most common items. |
