Haha thanks man! Sometimes the best lessons are from experience! Though having a simple video does make things go faster!!

I’ve seen that sometimes when the leak is caused by a piece of debris under the float needle, you can release it just by opening the bowl drain and flushing it out, without pulling the carb. This happened to me after doing a carb rebuild and not flushing the gas tank.

Very true!! And sometimes that little piece escapes the human eye!!!

Don’t forget to check your float height when you’re that deep into the carb. Had one the other day that was way off. Love your content bro 👍👍👍

@TJBRUTALCUSTOMS Ай бұрын

Unfortunately the single carbs don't have the option to adjust the float height. There's no metal adjustable tang. The dual carb bikes do though and they are easy to adjust. But thank you first for the feedback my friend! And second for the compliment!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
