What do you guys think? I have my beater bike. 86 BR. Tank was nasty on the inside, petcock was too and carb. So I put a good clean tank on it cleaned the crap out of the petcock and screen, cleaned the mess out of the carb, and put a kit in it. Filled it up with gas, and she ran like a charm. Today, I fired her off to take for a test ride now that I have my front end back together. She was kinda hard to start compared to normal, and fired off. Ran fine. Then I killed it after about 4 min of running. Ideling. WHen I killed it, gas started dripping from the overflow line on the bottom of the carb. Drip, drip, drip. The screw on the bowl was tight. So. I said hummm. FIred it back off and she started running like a dog. Poping and carrying on. Would idle perfect, but wouldnt take the gas. After a few minutes she finally started taking the gas, but was belching black smoke. Not a lot, but some. I just let it idle for a while got on it, and it was better but not like it should be. Do you think something broke loose trash wise somewhere and clogged or restricted something? The gas dripping out of the overflow tube? Trash between the needle valve and seat? Obviously I plan on pulling it off and cleaning it. What do you think? Thanks in advance. OH and I AM running a inline filter.
