Hi. I have a 2000 KDX220R. I bought it used about 3 months ago, I am pretty new to 2 strokes. I cannot get the damn carb to stop leaking out the overflow tube. I have replaced the rubber-plunger deal that stops the gas flow inside the carb bowl. I also thoroughly inspected the float for cracks plus tested it in a cup of gas to see if it was "water-logged" or something but it floats just fine and level. It`s not near as bad now but if I leave the bike sitting for more than 30 minutes or so there will be a puddle of fuel under it. I should also note that the carb is spotlessly clean and I can pull the bowl off the carb and "manually" hold upward on the float with a very light pressure and no fuel gets by. Float height is currently at .710" or 18mm from the bowl mating surface.
I also believe this is why the bike seems very inconsistent whenever I play around with jetting/needle/air screw settings due to the fact that the fuel level is so erratic. Any suggestions on how to correct this problem would be appreciated.
P.S. - Quick exhaust questions: How can I tell if the FMF Gnarly pipe on my bike is a woods or desert pipe? Also what is the difference between a FMF Power Core 2 and a FMF Turbine Core 2? I want a silencer I can take apart and clean.
Thanks for reading.
