30 cube vanny drip gas out of vent tube.
« on: July 12, 2014, 12:46:43 pm »
Has a double barrel Nikki carb on it. At an idle It's fine but I can see it start coming at around 4000-8000 rpm. Ran great Saturday and on Sunday started cutting out a bit around 4200 then rev up normal , then noticed a trail of gas when it was cutting out. Could this be a float and seat problem ? Plugs look rich on Sunday .
Thanks for any input

Try restrictng the fuel in to the carb, and see if it changes anything. If it does, I would look at the float level, or seat.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

I'll try turning the fuel shut off half way and see if it does it anymore. I ordered a new float and needle. Thanks Jim
