Tilly leaking while running.

[Mikez3202]

I'm having some issues with my carb. While its running it leaks out of where the air filter adapter is. I can see it coming from inside the carb. Is this normal?

No that is not normal. Sounds like you need a rebuild kit.

If you have a fuel pump connected to it you may have too much fuel pump pressure causing this issue.

The carb must be flooding itself, which can be from a pump pumping too much gas or even a stuck float.

Do I get rid of the pump if its giving it too much gas?

No you can buy a plastic inline fuel petcock and put it on the diaphragm pump line. Use it to regulate the pump for fuel pressure.(This is a trick I learned here on the OldMiniBikes from Evil Ed)

That's odd. Does anyone know how to post a video in a thread?
