Here's the full scoop.
I rebuilt my carbs this winter. Everything looked good, but I didn't feel like I had the floats fully seated and I just dismissed it as "that's the way they're supposed to feel" kind of thing.
Well fast forward to yesterday. I put the tank on and do a sync. Everything looks peachy. The gas tank is pretty much so empty though. Today I plan on going for a little test ride. I make it down to the gas station, about 2 blocks, no problem. Fill 'er up and almost dump it pulling out. I attribute this to new tires. I go to take off from a stop sign and it just goes sideways instead of forward. hhhmmm... That's not so good. Look down and it's just hemoraging fuel onto the ground. Great... I push it the 1 block home and start to tear into it. Put the tank on prime and carbs 1 and 2 gush fuel out the vent. Not just a little, but a TON.
I don't think the guy that rebuilt my carbs knew what the hell he was doing.
So any bets on what I'll find when I pull it apart?
