My fuels going the.wrong way

[Guest]

So I just got the carbs deep cleaned and for one I have fuel to the bowls but when I try to start the bike fuel comes out the air jets and I mean it comes spewing it it's not a drop it's a constant squirt

I think we need to see pictures of the carbs, and know which bike you have.

Seems like the floats are not shutting off the needle valve for some reason....

Explain "deep clean" ..... and if replaced all the o-rings.

So should i do a rebuild kit. And. Deep clean as in. Took everything. Apart. Bowls off jets off. Ran through a parts washer for 2 minutes amd sprays all the little passage with. Carb spray the. Air then. Re washed everything

Not to be too harsh here man but, you should step away from your bike and spend at least a couple of weeks reading forum posts about these machines. Also, read the factory/Haynes/Clymer manuals for the '82 1100. Then start asking questions regarding the particulars of your bike which you need clarifying. Item 1 - carb cleaning - this is important, and what you have done to this point isn't close to being sufficient.

Got the vents capped off?? That will cause this.

[Theadonutbear]

[Theadonutbear]

This tutorial would be considered a proper clean.

It is available in the GS Owners forum.

Also go to this site and spend a lot of time there before touching anything. The tutorials there work for all models of our bikes

Where would you guys recommend buying a rebuild kit. That has everythimg

[cowboyup3371]

Don't buy a rebuild kit; they are worthless and will not contain everything you need plus you'll pay 4 times the cost of what you need. Get the orings from cycleorings.com and the bowl gasket from your dealer like we said
