[QUOTE="Alen, post: 1478597, member: 146237"] I had the same thing on my XR250 (97) and it was a bit of a toughie. I sat down one day and sussed out there was very little clearance between the float bowl and the float itself. The pivot on the float was fairly sloppy allowing the float to touch the inside of the bowl. Solution.. fairly simple. Lightly squeeze in the part of the pivot on the float that goes around the pivot pin (So it lightly grips the pin rather than pivots on it) allowing the pin to pivot inside the carb casting itself. (Hopefully nice and freely). There is a procedure for setting the float height in one of the manual. The float lever should be done quoting the manual here. "Set the carburettor so that the float valve just contacts the float arm lip be sure the float valve tip is fully in contact with the valve seat. Adjust by bending the tang to achieve a height of 12.5mm (I guess it should shut off fuel when the float is 12.5 mm thereabouts from the float bowl mating half on the carb casting. I would be inclined to think if no one has been bending this tab then leave alone. [/QUOTE]
