your float level setting may be off or the needle valve may not be seating properly,did you replace the needle and seat or just clean it out.i'll go get my manual out of the garage and see if i can get you more info

Should be the needle valve. Either it is worn where it is supposed to seat or the float is stuck and the needle won't seat. I've done this several times--once, the needle was bad--other times were my fault putting things together. It's no big deal either way

The Go-Go girl leaked fuel out of the back after I let a Quadboy run over his leg riding it and tipped it on it's side. I assume the float stuck open and caused the fuel to rush straight through it out that back line. He then showed another Trike-Riding-Wannabe how to kickstart it, and broke the lever. :rolleyes:
