fuel leaks from my carbs. it runs, so it does get some fuel but when you accelerate slowly it boggs down really bad. could a float be stuck? Thanks

Re: fuel leak

Most likely float is hanging or needle/seat is worn... FIX it... just saw one catch fire at the ramp the other day cause of flooding Carb..<br />Lot of times everything is fine and there is just a piece of trash stuck between the needle and seat.. don't take much... but get it fixed soon..<br /><br />Really is a good potential for sparks to be flying around under the cowl lighting off the fuel...<br /><br />And of course it will also run right again...
