Float Valve Seating Issues
I have an '07, and no matter how much I clean, change out floats, and change float needles after about full tank of fuel the carburetor floods out. I have changed out with rebuild kits and OEM parts from Rocky Mountain ATV, and I keep flooding out.
My float is set to 0.69"-0.70". I checked the float needle via pulling the bowl off and setting it in a cup that suspends itself and filling a funnel full of clean fuel until it shuts off, and it shuts off right where the bowl mates up with the rest of the carburetor; yet I still get flooding problems.
Looking at how to fix this issue, and I am at a loss for how to proceed next outside of dropping $550 for a new OEM carburetor.
