Re: Help: Cant turn right

Thanks for the pics. Picked up a new float and weighed it and it was bang on 6 grams. Also put them in the water and it reacted exactly the same as in the pics

Re: Help: Cant turn right

So today I took my carb apart to troubleshoot and I first off measured the float height which came up as an odd reading (I had found the exact values in the engine spec in the green books section) and then I had heard about the common problem of the floats becoming pouros and absorbing fuel thus mak...
