Carbs gushing gas

Post by OhioPinz »

After 7 years of zero problems, my carbs both started gushing gas out the sides. It was running fine before this. Did both my float valves just give up?

Turns out my cover plates for the jets were simply loose.

While you're there: you may want to replace the carb gaskets when you take off the covers. They're just o-rings that you can find at any hardware store and will save you from future fuel spewage.
