Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUn2it Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I have check the the float and it does not have a hole or crack on it i even taken of the float and hook it just how you said on it still leaks take ONLY the float bowl off, leave the float on, it's what closes the needle valve into the seat, leave the fuel line attached and fuel turned on, with the float lifted up the fuel must shut off, if it doesn't and the needle valve and seat are clean then you need a new needle and seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUn2it Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Did the same thing and it does not leak but when i put the float bowl back it starts to leak again so what could be the problem Same as My 1st post, if it doesn't leak lifting the float up your fuel level is too high. It shoudn't take much pressure to shut off the needle, barely lifting the float up. Should be a tab on the float that pushes on the needle, Maybe it got bent, see it you can bend it upwards a little. There's a specification for the fuel height in a manual but you can test (if the overflow stops) by holding float bowl in place, carb level, and turn on the fuel for a few seconds then off and carefully lower the bowl to see how high the fuel is. You don't want it right at an overflow point or fuel will slosh out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aceisback Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Check out the CanAm/BRP forum over at the Connection. This has been covered several times there and the measurments for the float adjustment are in the thread. Might as well do the OMR stock carb mods while you're into the thing. FREE horsepower. Can't beat that.... Edited June 7, 2009 by aceisback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you can't fix something as simple as a carburetor I wouldn't recommend tearing into a Banshee. Sounds like the needle/ seat were just not sealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
