Overflow pipe crack

what he said get in habit of turning gas on and off it is a good habit.sorry about the soder thing but not an expensive fix you got it fixed now ?how dose it run ?

How long will JB weld stand up to full gasoline exposure?
I have a carb repaired with JB. Just wondering.

I like the fuel line trick, sounds like it would work.

How come 29mm Smoothbores don't have overflow tubes?

So I said I won't ask more questions but I don't know where else to turn! I dont' believe this bike has an off position. It has on, reserve and prime. I got the new bowls on (thanks to Steeles Cycle in Denver that place rules) but it's still not running right. It starts fine and runs and idles with the choke ON (meaning closed). When I try to turn the choke off (open it) the bike revs up like crazy to the point where I just shut it off because it doesn't go back down. What could cause this? Here's my scenario:

-valves and points adjusted
-float level is in check
-pilot screws backed out 2 full turns
-carb sync is visually corrected
-new plugs and caps
-I visually checked the static timing, I don't really understand timing yet, Is this something you do in conjunction with dynamic timing or are there different tests for bikes with points vs electronic ignition?
-throttle cable is adjusted

I want to dial in my pilot screws and my carb sync but can't really do that without it idling while warmed up. Any thoughts?

Id try to adjust your idle screw and make sure you dont have any vacuum leaks. How does it idle with the choke on? Do you have pods or straight pipes? If so then it could run and im pretty sure it would rev up.

Yup, that is exactly what I did to my RS36 that was busted. The JB was already on it and had lasted several years for the PO. I took a carbide scribe and poked around on the repair and the JB flaked right off. Nice and clean mind you.

I was glad because the last repair had the float pin at an angle. The break in the pin stand was clean and crisp so the broken piece fit back in it perfect. I whipped up some JB and stuck it back together with the float pin in place. Looks great.

I talked to a friend that races all year long and he told me to put super glue over the JB to seal it off. I tried it and it didn't do well at all. I'm in the process of getting that off of the JB now.
I'm just gonna leave the JB like it is until I have to do the repair again, which I doubt I will need to.

Thanks for the thread Patton.

man, that's because they never overflow... :silly:


not true

I found some fuel lines at lowe's in the weed-eater/chainsaw/leaf blower section and used the 3/32" inside diameter 3/16" outside diameter fuel line (it was a variety pack so it also had 1/16"id 1/8" od i' long)
It fit very snug over my keihin cvc fuel overflow tubes. It is best not to plug them, as they are for ventilation. also don't run the tubes to your airbox as it will run too rich, dipstick.
