[QUOTE="gagvanman, post: 634587, member: 17411"] Removed carbs and stripped down, fuel still in the bowls, needle valves not stuck but one of them did not have the retaining clip which connects to the float. Submersed floats in water - no bubbles. Replaced 175 needles with new 150's, the new ones have metal clips whereas the old ones had plastic clips. Checked out the accelerator pump diaphragms for E10 damage, both ok. Replaced my external oil filter and filled engine with 2.5L of new oil. Ran engine with the electric fuel pump disabled to check oil pressure. Reconnected and ran engine, all seems ok. Will check oil again later to see if any fuel present. [/QUOTE]
