I think it might be a stuck carb float Once I open the petcock fuel comes out under the bike.. So does that sound like stuck float tried banging on the carbs seem to slow it down a little..


Not a good week shouldn't have started looking at Victorys but if she keeps acting up High Ball for sure!!

Thanks for your help guys!!

Absolutely sounds like a stuck float or piece of debris between the needle and seat.

You hit the nail on the head.

Typcally tapping the carbs will free the piece of dirt from the needle and seat. The issue though is how is the dirt getting there? Do you have an inline filter in the system?
