Re: HD 25 Carb percolting

quote Chacha53:

Shane. How could you hear gas boiling in the carb while running? My engine makes so much noise as to drown out any other sound. If the gas is boiling you will see it bubbling out of the top of the carb around the float needle sticking through the top. Do you see it doing that? If you have a mist of water coming out the exhaust holes on the midsection then I think your cooling system is working. If you’re engine runs for awhile then stops, I would bet it’s a carb issue.

I cant hear it while running. As you said these motors make a racket.
When it dies and i put my ear to the carb you can hear it bubbling and see gas seeping out of the float need as you stated. I took my carb off and check my gasket to make sure I wasn’t having the same issue as you. Sadly My gasket was fine. I tore the bottom end off it ran wires and and air and engine cleaners through all tubes for cooling etc. And it actually ran for longer than i have ever ran it, then it heated up again. I don’t know I’m lost, its going on the back burner for now i guess. Other motors have taken priority.

Congratulations on persevering and finding a solution to your though!
