Should of kept my gob shut
Well, after gobbing off about my bike being a runner she's developed a snag. Cant seem to stop fuel gusshing from the right hand carb . Everything was fine until i rode it today . I stopped outside my garage to open the door and noticed a puddle of petrol on the floor which was getting larger by the second , i shut the bike down and still it came until i turned the fuel tap off , could this be a sticky float?If so has anyone got any tips to stop this happening.............Cheers ..Ricky

Kri man calling Ricky. Sounds like worn float valves, have been there myself.Still available from the local Kwak dealers, and I believe that the KX65/90 ones are the same. Not cheap though. Good opportunity to do the float heights.Don't know your method of removal, but I pull out the airbox first, this makes it a much easier job to do. Good luck, best regards, KR1 man.

I just would clean the carb first, before buying new parts
and maybe install fuelfilters in the fuellines
