Hey, ya'll.
This morning, something happened kind of strange. This is the 2nd time this has happened, but 1st on this carb.
I was going down this very long, very steep hill. Most 50cc's are going 15mph when they get to the top of this hill, for reference. Anyways, I get to the bottom of the hill, and I go back to the throttle, and it stutters a bit, but then keeps going. When I get to the next stop sign, it dies. I smell gas, get off, and look at the carb. Gas is pouring out of the vent hose. I mean pouring. I quickly turn the gas off of my manual petcock, wait a bit, start it up, drive it until it uses all the fuel in the bowl, and stop again. I get out, turn the gas back on, and it runs fine all day.
I had this happen, on a different carb, before I put the BBK on, about a year ago.
I guess the float valve just got stuck, going down that big hill. Weird.
