| I just purchased this at a reasonable price. With the reasonable price comes a problem. When I got it I had to drain all the oil out because it was full of gas. I have now changed it twice, still getting ALOT of gas in the cranckcase. So much gas in it, it is like a fontain when you remove the oil cap. It runs great right after I drain it, so I find it hard to believe I have Ring problems. Could this be a Float problem? Or what else could it be? Please help!!!! |

Hello Scotty,
Sounds like a stuck float or worn out needle/seat.
If this ATV has a fuel petcock, turn to off position and let unit sit.
If no gas in oil then what you have is worn out needle/seat.

| Thanks for the advise. I will be sure and check that. When you say petcock, are you talking about the selector where you can turn it ON OFF RESERVE? If it is the needle/seat, would it be easier to just replace the Carb.? Thanks for the help! |

| yes, that is the petcock. and whether you feel comfortable taking the carb apart or not will decide if you want a new one. just remember that carbs have lots of small parts in them. and they are very precise. |
