    Carb dumping out fuel?

    I just replaced the main jet in my carb and now it is dumping fuel out of the hose above the idle adjustment when I turn the fuel on?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    For some reason your floater is geeting stuck. Your carb may need to be cleaned.

    i've fought with that on my 200x and on one of the 70s we're building. just check your float.

    check if when reattaching the carb bowl that you aren't pushing against the float and causing it to stick.
