Another thing When ya get it back running change the oil . it will be full of fuel!!!

Pick 1 boosters
Pick 2 air bleeds.......[air jets]

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

the only way fuel will come out of the boosters or air bleeds at idle is if the fuel level is to high. nice pics strip

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

The needle and seat is under the flat head screw on the bowl. A 5/8 wrench fits the nut to adjust the float level and will unscrew out to see if any trash is in it .

A lot of the time when ya take it out the needle and seat the trash will stay in the cavity in the float bowl . It will be very small like a grain on sand , a picse of Teflon tape or even a pieces of the stainless steel hose inner rubber hose :( they do determinate,been there :(




tap here :eek:

this is the neddle and seat. bad pick though :drink:

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

I am going to pull the needle out and give it a good blow :evilb: !
I don't think tapping it will work, since I had already loosened up the bowl and jiggled the float.
No luck there.

Thanks.

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

Be Carefull While Looking Down The Carb And Cranking Wit Hfuel Going In,one Little Back Fire And Youll Loose Your Eyebrows,the Carbs On The Otherhand Do Have Power Valves, 2 Per Carb,and Again,one Little Backfire,even Under Startup Will Take Them Out,i Have The Same Setup And Have Been Threw This,good Luck!

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

Isn't there some kit you can put on to prevent the power valves from being trashed during a backfire? I thought I read somewhere that these had been out for a few years (maybe not in 97) and most folks were putting these on their carbs.

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

Yea it would hurt burning a eyeball :eek:

I think on all the newer carbs have the blow back protection ck ball in it?

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

Its a brass insert with a ck ball .This is a old kit I had and never used . Dont know if they still make them or not ??

Hope this helps

Re: 525 SC Carb Flooding
 

Ah-Ha!
Found the culprit this weekend.
Apparently, for some unexplained reason, the float in the bowl was filled with fuel.
No floaty!
Not having a spare float on hand, I drilled a hole in the bottom of the float to get the fuel out.
Reassembled everything and presto, it worked, for about a day. Sunday was repeat the draining of the bowl again.
Today, it's off to the parts store for new floats and gaskets.

Thanks for everyones input!
