Folks,

Now I'm stumped again. I've had the carbs off twice: checked & cleaned the needle valves, seats, and floats; measured the float height per the service manual's instructions (both carbs spot on); and tested the carbs on the bench to make sure fuel stops flowing when the bowls are full. But when I put the carbs back on the bike fuel still overflows.

Rather than wait for fuel to appear in the airbox I've been testing with a clear tube attached to a carb bowl drain. When I turn on the petcock the fuel in the tube rises clear up to the side of the fuel tank.

I'm open to suggestions no matter how crazy. I can't afford to send the thing to the shop. Any ideas?

Dave
