HELP HELP - ADVICE NEEDED

Post by zachalyse »

Carbs on my 86 are constantly flooding out. Research has led me to float needle problems. Will these fit? I need some ASAP. Or if anyone has some decent carbs, I wouldn't mind replacing everything all together.

ew im going to go with NO on that one.... that white plastic piece looks much longer than what you need.... thats certianly not a very good deal either, fair maybe, but not worth taking the risk

How bad is it flooding, is there gas coming out of the pipes . If your engine is filling up with fuel then you need to rebuild your fuel pumps most of the older sleds should get diaphragm kits changed. There just thin plastic discs and do wear out or deterioate.
