Re: Ever seen this stuck float problem?

[beerman57]

First problem like it I’ve seen. Made us wonder, when you’re running along, does the float stay just slightly open – letting in as much fuel as is being used, or drop, fill the bowl, then wait a little before dropping again to let more fuel in? The float had to drop a good way before it would hang up on the seat gasket. Tested it after grinding a hair off that tab, with the carb upside-down, the weight of the float would seal it off well enough to have fuel spray out when disconnecting the fuel hose.
