I have an 84 tri zinger 60cc. Where the fuel line connects to the carb, does this port lead to the the float needle? When I blow threw the port that the fuel line connects to I get no air flow. Hence, I'm getting no fuel to start the bike. Note, its fires up if I shoot a burst of carb cleaner. I have it soaking in gas I hopes of clearing it out. The rest of the ports flow fine. Anyway, I hope I've put enough info. Thanks Chris H

If the zinger has been setting for awhile, then the needle could be stuck in the seat. The jets could also be plugged.

SOURCE: kohler motor starts then carb loads up with gas

If the engine is running rough then this could mean that you have weak spark or valve adjustment. When an engine runs rough it will not burn all the fuel, which will create excess fuel in the air cleaner housing. Also, make sure the the float is closing in the carberator.

Hey there, I'm not familiar with this particular tool, but, there is a good chance, that if you cut the fuel lines of an accurate length, mock up the replacement of the carb, and that should help you figure out, what goes where:)
Bon chance!

SOURCE: Air box and crank case fuel flooding problem

Well there only one way the fuel can get into the crankcase and that's from the fuel tank. The petcock must be draining and the float needles are not stopping the fuel flow. Do you have a prime position on the petcock? If so do not run the bike in the position. Try topping the tank off with gas and letting it sit for a while and see is the gas has gone down and then check the crankcase and see if there's fuel in it again. i still say its got to be your petcock.

SOURCE: 1980 Yamaha XS 400 Special First,

First, you need a good battery. The bike does have electronic ignition. Soak the carbs in denatured alcohol for two hours after removing the float bowls, then clean with spray cleaner. Spray into every large and small hole you can find. Remove the rubber diaphragm from the center of carb prior to cleaning. New diaphragms are $196 each. Check all fuses. Put in new spark plugs, NGK-BP7ES. Clean the air filter. Get a can of spray starter fluid and spray on the air filter. The rubber mounts for the carbs are likely to be a problem once it gets running. It looks like they are still available at Babbitt's, $53 each. If un-carburetored air can get into the joints it will lean the fuel mix and cause uncontrollable high idle.

Before you sink a lot of money into the bike, check for spark. If spark is present, coast the bike down a good sized hill without any spark plugs being installed. Put the bike in 3rd gear as you go downhill then let the clutch out to turn the engine over. Now ( using the clutch lever ), shift through all the gears then neutral. If the bike will not shift properly it likely has a bent shift fork. I can't find any forks avaiable. With a bad tranny I would put it back in the dirt floor building and find a newer bike. Here is a link to Babbitt's. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Engine runs for short time then cuts off homelight 2700 psi power washer

There are 2 different enigines on these depending upong your actual unit model number.
One had a Subaru 175 cc engine and the other was a Honda engine. For carb specifics I need the ENGINE model number. Either way... here is what you need to do:
1. Fuel selector off.
2. Remove main fuel line from the carb.
3. Use a spray can lid and check FLOW. It should fill the lid in under 8 seconds. (Feul selector OFF now) If you do not have good fuel flow here you need to inspect the tank exit port, in line fuel filter if used and the sediment bulb under the fuel selector for debris
(GOOD FUEL FLOW NOW)
4. Remove the float bowl by unscrewing the bowl nut from the bottom of the carb. NOTE positon of gaskets as you remove float bowl. Use carb cleaner and direct a spray hopefully with mini extension tube of the carb nozzle into the center of the threaded area of the bowl nut. (This cleans main fuel jet orifice / pin hole) Then spray carb cleaner using mini nozzle extension up the flat side of the float needle until carb cleaner exits the main fuel line connection. Last spray from the main fuel line connection to the float needle (reversed spray)

This usually removes any debris from the float bowl. main fuel jet and main fuel manifold Reinstall the main fuel line.
- Turn on the fuel selector and use the spray paint can lid under the float to catch fuel. It should fill in 8 to 10 seconds to the point your worried about over-flow.
- GENTLY lift the float needle to the level position. FUEL MUST STOP.
- Lower Float to resting position. FUEL MUST FLOW so that it would fill the spray paint can lid in 8 to 10 seconds. (FUEL SLECTOR OFF)

Clean the bowl nut and reinstall the float bowl. Turn on the fuel.. wait 30 seconds for the float bowl to fill completely and start unit. If it runs GREAT... If it only runs with the choke on you still have a fuel supply problem...i.e most likely the main fuel just in the threaded area of the bowl nut is still clogged. .

This should get you going. Thanks for choosing FixYa,

I PRESSURS WASH FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN ENGINE STARTS TO SPUTTER AND LOOSE PRESSURE. IF I CONTINUE IT WILL JUST QUIT.

Hi and welcome to FixYa I am Kelly.
Things that cause this symptom are:
1. Debris in the carb float bowl
- Remove the carb float bow nut and clean out the bowl, the bowl but and up inside the treaded area of the bowl nut is the main fuel jet. Make sure to clean that also. You can try carb cleaner but sometimes the jet has to be removed to clear it.
2. Fuel selector sediment bowl is full of debris.
- Unscrew the sediment bulb under the fuel selector and dump out the sediment
3. Dirty fuel filter (if used)
- Check fuel flow at the carb main fuel line connection. If should fill a spray paint can lid in about 8 seconds. Anything less and you need to look at the fuel filter or fuel tank exit port as a source of restrictions.
Once you have good flow here you need to check fuel flow at the float needle.
4. Debris in the fuel float needle seat. Another flow check with a spray paint can lid catch basin.
- The spray paint can lid should fill up in around 10 seconds when you turn on the fuel selector.
Poor fuel flow here and you have to remove the float, hinge pin and float needle. Then spray into the float needle hole with carb cleaner with the MAIN FUEL SUPPLY HOSE DISCONNECTED. Also spray into the main fuel line connection so that any debris is removed.

Performing the above steps should improve your engine performance dramatically. If you still have the problem after performing the above steps respond with your ENGINE MODEL NUMBER and there is more that can be done.

Flooding out

Three things cause this....
1. Debris between the float needle tip and the float needle rubber seat.
2. A very very very dirty air cleaner.
3. A fuel float assembly that the float has filled with fuel and is too heavy to float up with the fuel level.
My bet is there is dirt in the float needle seat.
remove the float bowl
remove the float hinge pin and drop the float (Shake the float gently checking to make sure there is no internal fuel inside the float.) If there is fuel in the float replace it.
remove the main fuel line

Spray carb cleaner UP into the float needle hole so that the debris will wash out of the the float needle seat. Next spray carb cleaner from the main fuel line connection through the float needle seat.

Reinstall the main fuel line.
reinstall the float needle and float as one unit.
Turn on the fuel selector...
raise the float gently until it is just level. Fuel flow must stop. If it does not stop change the float needle and seat.
Reinstall the float bowl.
Test for leaks..
Start generator. Task complete.

2N FORD Tractor Fuel will not flow from tank to

You have a clogged fuel manifold in the carb. This is usually caused by something in the float needle seating area. Remove the float bowl, remove the float and pull out the float needle. Then use carb cleaner in the float needle area to blow out the debris or dried / varish in the float needle seat and the fuel maifold. Spray carb cleaner from the manifold / hose fuel connection and make sure that you get it clean. Then with the float and float needle still removed turn on the gas and make sure you have fuel flow.
Here is a carb kit if you need parts:
http://www.8ntractors.com/carburetor_repair_kit_c545v_1035_prd1.htm (Do a net search for the kit you can get them cheaper than this one.)

I get the feeling that this tractor sat ilde for sometime and your now trying to get it going again. When a fuel system sits for a very long time with fuel the fuel in the float bowl and carb will turn into a shellac and really gum things up. Worst case you remove the carb and soak it in Chemtool B-12 overnight / couple of days then rebuild it using the kit above. (You will be glad that you did!)

You can get a new fuel cap here:
http://www.8ntractors.com/ford_2n_tractor_fuel_tank__cap_343_ctg.htm

Also there is a SCREEN in the top of the fuel sediment bowl that can be caked with gunk. This will stop all fuel flow if it is blocked.
http://www.ytmag.com/store/parts/pics/wm_2NAA916061_.jpg

I have spent hundreds of hours on one of these... doing large garden work back in the day and moving hay in several different ways. (Brings back some good memories and makes me ponder where that tractor is today...hmmm..)

I have a honda trx450r 05 and it wont start I cant get fuel into the bottom of the carby bowl.

Hello and welcome to Fixya! Well first lets start at the tank, remove your fuel hose and make sure your getting fuel out of tank. Next check your line from the petcock to carb. If here is no fuel coming out from this point inspect your petcock for any obstruction, try blowing air threw it. Its either something plugged inside tank, or your petcock. Now if you are getting fuel out of petock to carb, remove carb and inspect where the fuel line hooks up, remove float and float needle and then blow air threw it. If its clear then check your float height and make sure its adjusted to spec. If you need further assistance please feel free to let me know. Thanks and good luck! Cycleworx157

I have a John Deere LT133 w/13hp Kohler motor. Problem

I had the same mower in my shop with the same prob. Last week, here is what i did to correct the problem, take the fuel line apart at the fuel filter, open the fuel cap and drain the gas from the tank, once it stops i took couple old walmart bags and compressed air to slowly blow air in to the tank to blow the residue and trash out of the fuel tank. Next using compressed air to blow through the fuel line from where the filter was toward the carb. Next unbolt the carb and remove the fuel bowl, take the small pin holding the float out and slowly remove the float pulling strait up as the needle will be attached via a small channel on the float. There is where you will find the seat which the needle you extracted sets in to stop or allow the fuel to flow. Clean these parts and area WELL. i usually take the air screws out and use carb cleaner to clean those areas as well. Reinstall the needle and float, pin assembly and the bowl. Reinstall the carb , and make SURE to install a new fuel filter not exceeding the last filters micron flow, double check all connections, clamps, and hardware, add new FRESH gasoline with no less than 89 octane at any time, engine should fire and run as intended.

1987 jeep wrangle will not start or run

Uncouple the fuel line coming from the pump at the carburetor, place a clean can under the line, and have someone operate the starter--you should have fuel shoot from the line in spurts as the engine turns. If it does, then the entry port on the carburetor is plugged. Remove the float assembly and pull out the float needle valve. Hook the fuel line back to the carburetor and try the starter again, there should be fuel pumping into the float bowl. If not, check to see if there is a filter on the fuel inlet path that may be plugged. If no filter, remove the float needle seat to see if something is blocking the fuel passage. If all else fails, use compressed air to blow backwards through the needle seat (remove the fuel line again). Hope some of this helps!

You have some bad seals and sounds like a sticking float or needle valve
Get the rebuild kit for the carb, give it a good cleaning, and replace the seals...that should fix ya right up

Most likely when your engine went bad some debris got thrown back into the intake and sucked into the carb.

No fuel from tank

take a clean piece of fuel line and slide one end over the fuel fitting on the carb, and try to blow gently through it. if you cant blow through the line, then you have a problem with the needle/seat assembly inside the bowl of the carb. remove the bowl, and pull the float out along with the small needle under it, and make sure its not stuck, and make sure that the bore that the needle slides into is clean. also, re assemble the float and needle, and check for float adjustment. with the carb upright, check that the needle moves freely along with the float, and isnt pressed shut when the float is at its lowest position. if needed, then bend the small tab on the float that presses against the lower end of the needle, to give it a bit more slack and allow the needle to open up a bit more. do this check on both carbs.
