Re: carb question on frame off restore (with pics)

Hey guys, just finished rebuilding an 89 LT250r with my 15 year old and it came out great.  Check out the pics.  Anyway the carb is probably toast.  Had it rebuilt and it still leaks out of the bowl like crazy.  Buying a new Mukini is like $350.  Ive seen the Keihn's on ebay for a lot less.

Anyone have any experience with these or is there a better carb to swap out.  Not going for extreme power, it's a basic build for my boy.

Thanks!

There is only 5 things that will cause the float bowl to overflow.

1. A bad needle or seat
2. A bad o-ring on the outside of the seat
3. Improperly adjusted floats
4. Debris trapped between the needle and seat.
5. Heavy floats

I have not seen any heavy floats on the plastic floats.  Brass floats sometimes get a hole in them and fill up with fuel.

Needle seat assy.are about $25.00 and o-rings are about$2.00

I would have someone that knows what they are doing take a look at the carb.  They missed something real basic if it is still overflowing.
