MOPED ARMY

I haven't checked anything. I gave up after that and played video games.

I normally don't hook it up to the tank because it leaks when upside down and I hate spilling gas.

Nice, I just did it by taking off the throttle and decomp cable, suspension, and main bolt, then dropping the top half of the frame on my foot. It was quite effective.

Took the carb off. Opened it up. It spilled gas everywhere. Float bowl was full of gas still. Yum.

Float looks like it's on correctly. Drain bolt is tight. Float returns when I push it up or down. Needle looks fine.

I dunno. New seals?

Ugh. That's a good question. No, the bottom of the float bowl was really wet, obviously. I could see the blue fuel all over it.

It wasn't dripping from the fuel inlet as far as I could see, so I'm guessing it came from the overflow. Or the seals. (edited)

So what now hormones are leaking under the bike,

Polish the carb needle seat with a toothpic/qutip and toothpaste.

To fix the gas leak,

The other things you need are at the all night market.

dremel a slot in the brass cable retainer so you can drop the cable in from the top, the set screw still holds it nicely, but i used an end to prevent further fraying.

it annoyed me once too often.

For anyone looking to do that:

On the miniest cable stop, I took a cutting wheel on my dremel and ground down the tightening screw until the surface was completely flush. Then it fit perfectly into my oem honda throttle control.

The top end of the cable also got a

I didn't do that for the bottom end.

On the bottom end I used a bit of solder and fire (optional), then put the 'pinch tip' in there and used my pinch tip crimping tool to crunch it on. Same tool I use for my bike. :) Slipped right into the carb's throttle stop. No mods needed. No fraying ever again. (edited)

Take a clean section of vacuum tubing or fuel line and blow in it while operating the float. Mimic what happens when the bowl fills up with premix.

That is how you test if it is the needle valve.

Check the tip carefully for a ring or groove.

I use Chrome polish not toothpaste.

I chuck a q-tip in a drill and buzz it a handful of times with the chrome.

be sure to test it before you put it on the bike - it will alleviate some of the "Hobbit frustrations"

It's still on the fuel line. :P

I've removed it before to clean all up in there since it just sort of easily comes out.

Why shouldn't it be removed? bad moped juju?

NEw float needle is in, new seals on route.

you might be waiting a while for the carb kit from western hills, i always had to call them once or twice to check on my orders back in the days before treatland. (edited)

SOLVED. :)

New seals arrived today from Western Hills (took 3 days, so perfect).

Connected everything, checked float level (10mm), sealed everything, installed. Couldn't figure out what the pencil sized mini-gasket is for, but I'll keep it incase I ever find out. Filled up with gas and not a single leak. Nothing. completely dry.

Dude I dealt with was Terry Williamson. If you need parts you can't find so well on the internet, totally suggest talking to these peeps and helping the local honda shop.

technically speaking none of them were gaskets, they were all o-rings.

It was only an o-ring set.

I bought a needle separately from treats.

No leaks at the brass hose fitting? It was designed for the fuel line to be removed from the fitting, not the fitting from and the carb body. A rubber fuel line has a tight fit around the fitting. Takiing off that fitting very many times, will result in it not staying connected. The brass fitting was pressed into the carb body, and should stay put.

sweet. i have those carbs spontaneously leak sometimes. must be some shit in there but multiple carbs throughly cleaned they'll not leak for weeks and then one day theres a huge puddle under it, the next minute it's fine again. never got it quite figured out. just shut off the petcock. anyhow this story is useless
