Carburetor "pees" like crazy

My carburetors pee like crazy every time i turn on the fuel. It switches from one carburetor to another, Is this a stuck float? And how can i find out? I just cleaned all the carburetors. Could the only reason be a stuck float, or could it be something else?

Whats this for?

the float might be stuck or the needle and seat are worn. the heedle has a rubber tip that wears out

The needles on VM24 carbs don't have rubber tips. I would replace all four float valve assemblies. www.z1enterprises.com can help. Then I would set the float levels using the service fuel level method and last have a look at my web site (page for VM carb connections) for hooking the carbs up. The vacuum port is a giant air leak if not connected or capped.

I learned that the hard way :laugh:

I'm kind of an idiot so take my advice for what it's worth. My carb was leaking real bad the other day. I hit the bowls of the carb with the handle of a screwdriver a few times and it doesn't leak any more. I don't know, it worked for me.

this 'hammer' technique is documented in my Clymer. They point out the obvious fact that you have dislodged some piece of crap that was jamming something up, it is still in the bowl -- take the bowl off and get the crap out so it doesn't jam up something else.
