[QUOTE="sunnyside, post: 631252, member: 31323"] Check your float height. The gaskets in the kits are much thicker than the originals so this changes the gap between the float needle and the float, raising the height of the fuel in the float chamber which then overflows and floods the carb. The way to check it is take the king lead off and crank the engine over for 10 seconds or so. Then take the lid off the carb, take the float out and measure the distance from the top of the carb to the top of the fuel. It should be around 18-20mm If this is incorrect, adjust the shims under the float needle accordingly [/QUOTE]
