I'd bench test it while it's off. Rig up something to fill and drain it to see if the float is sticking. Maybe you can use your vinegar to avoid soaking the area with gas. I've done this with small engine carbs many times it beats tearing it down again and takes almost no time

 

I was going to do that but I don't think it's necessary... it's pretty obvious it's sticking. Strange thing is I cleaned it out real well not too long ago when I was playing with the jetting again.

 

I'd bench it because it's not guaranteed to not stick with a new needle or your vinegar douching. Just trying to save you some time! I've rebuilt a lot of carbs on various things, new doesn't always equal fixed!

 

The main problem lies in the color!!

He started the damn thing in my driveway and all you can hear is the Barney theme song "I love you you love me were a happy family"!!!! Lmmfao!!!!

Plasti dip it black and your troubles will go away Tman!!!

 

Unless there is a burr or something jamming it up, a good cleaning should take care of it, but I will test it anyways.

 

and he spent months jetting it on the bike till he brought it to us hahahahaahahaahahah

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!
How in the hell did he brake it there??????

 

The top bolt was loose and he probably had one of those heavy "Live to Ride" medallions hanging on the a/c cover?

 

You can't just post that picture without a story to go with it now.

 

i would rather post up chicks starting bikes
