i got this beef with my 2001 kx 100..i just rebuilt the carb today..cleaned it and everything and raised the jet needle clip one step..i put it back together and start it up..everythings good just a minor fuel leakage outta the carb overflow hoses..i just thought it was the carb gettin cleaned out and stuff..so i go riding and get stuck on this hill..i tip the bike back too much and it gets flooded..like real flooded..like the fuel is just flowin rite outta the hoses..i can stop it by shuttin the fuel off..but it still wont start..i took apart the carb and i didnt see anything wrong..put it back together..still the same thing..whats wrong?

Sounds like the float is messed up.
Check your float level.

Yup! sounds like when you pulled the carb your float came unhooked from the pilot.

Either your float level is set too high,or your needle plunger that shuts off the fuel when the float level rises is sticking....
