Interesting problem I came across on a kohler carburetor

Recommended Posts

RED-Z06

My M12s im reviving was running pretty good but the carb leaked and it never really wanted to tune in..was not a fan of idling cold.

 

New kit came in, got it put in...engine immediately flooded.  Pulled it back off, needle and seat held 25" of vacuum and 20psi pressure..i made sure the float was level and dry...it was.  Put the carb on..cranked on it..immediately flooded.

 

So it had already spent 4hrs in 190⁰ solvent...before i ever ran it. I ran wire down the bowl vent...dirt.. i blasted that out, now its fine.

 

The leaking bowl gasket must have been letting the bowk breathe but after sealing it, the fuel pump was forcing fuel right up the jet
