Mikuni flooding when engine reved

[Gippslander]

Pulled the carby apart, cleaned and poked and looked everywhere -- all looked clean -- changed the needle and seat to a "new new" one -- carby only about 2 hours old -- and it runs a lot better, not flooding all the time but still not 100% because a bit of "overflow" still occassionally coming aout -- but does not seem to be a problem, will give is a run anf see what happens.
The angle of the carb (GMC mentioned) does seem a bit too much and it would be good to see what it would be like if I got the carby sitting a bit flatter.
Also, was very carefull to get the float tang straight and not bent as it had been, so cannot be sure what made the improvement but it is definately better "around the back yard"
Thanks for all of the help

Also, GMC, saw the tank you did for me (for BigK), lovely workmanship, really nice job

Just do your testing while going up hill

The problem with changing the angle is the carby will hit the crank case so while changing the inlet manifold angle you have to dogleg it upwards as well. Hope your handy with a TIG and die grinder if you go this way.
Had to change part of the airbox casting as well.

 Has any one mentioned vibration? been there-had that. Check for missing engine steady bracket, loose engine mounts, even cracked frame!. Once had to mount carbies on flexible hose on a road racer special to stop this prob. cheers pancho

So I tried the original Bing, bloody thing starts easy and runs nice -- so for the moment the Mikuni has been chucked.

Luckily I've got a second pre 75 bike -- a 74 1/2 KTM 250 -- bloody easy to start and it just goes so reliably etc etc -- wonder why I bother with the Husky, still I will not let the old Swede beat me but on the backburner for now.

Just thinkin'  if the needle and seat in my Mikuni is "metal" would one of these help?
