Been Around the Block
Hey everyone, i've been lurking for a while, and didn't plan on posting until I could start a build thread. Well i've been doing less building and more repairing.
It's an 81 KZ440 with the CV carbs. they overflow out of the drain hole at the bottom of the bowl all the time. Here's what i'v done:
new valves (along with a full rebuild kit)
polished the brass valve seats beautifully so they aren't getting hung up
adjusted the float height. I set the fuel level lower than it should be, just to hopefully stop the overflow, but it didn't stop.
replaced drain screw o-rings.
checked the overflow tube in the bowl for cracks or leaks, it's all good.
the floats don't absorb any water, they are in good shape
So what the heck is jammin' me up over here in Cleveland!?!?
I'll reward the first reply with some pics of the bike.
