Just did a carb rebuild on my cv carb on my 93 sportster. When I turn my bike to reserve to fill the carb it just runs straight through the carb to the drain hose under my bike. I would think its a stuck float but I just cleaned the entire carb and put a new float needle in. I want this bike done and running by this weeks Delmarva bike week.

 

Wrong needle. Missing needle clip?

 

Did you forget to put the drain screw back in the bowl? http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....RETOR-ASSEMBLY

 

try tapping on th carb bowl with the handle of a screwdriver...the float is probably stuck down

 

Float installed incorrectly, sounds like its not closing and overfilling your float bowl. Don't forget to check your float level when you have it open.

How do I check my float level?

 

Float adjustment is detailed in your service manual under carb rebuild.

 

Adjusted float but still getting a overflow.
