[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 1353826, member: 20652"] I think you were on the right track when you went after the float. You had too much gas and found that the float was stuck open so all of the gas was flowing past the float needle. Now it's not getting any gas. You say the carb is getting gas but I wonder if it really is. The needle could be stuck again because the float adjustment is off. You said you a crash that started all of this and maybe the tab that sets the float height got bent to the point where it is forcing the needle closed with very little gas in the bowl. Who knows what the float height should be but you could set it with trial and error. Not fun but possible. Another way might be easier (or not) is to remove the carb and determine how much gas should be in the bowl when the needle closes. Then put the bowl back on and fill the bowl with that volume of liquid. If you can then blow through the fuel inlet then the needle is not closed so readjust the float height. If you can't blow through the inlet then it's time to adjust the float down. It's still trail an error but you don't have to put the carb back on the bike and try to start it each time. You'll may still have some monkeying around with it on the bike but it should get you in the right ball park. I may be all wet there but that's my first pass at it. I hope I didn't ramble too much :laugh: [/QUOTE]
