25mm Dellorto Float melt
Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2014 3:40 pm
So yesterday had a quick errand to run and figured I'd use my trusty
old Silver special casa kitted 185 Dellorto 25mm. Kicked it in life...
died straight away....? Kicked again died.... wouldn't hold a tick over,
figured it was a blocked pilot jet or fuel tap issue ....took carb off and
viola .....carb float full of gas this is a new carb about 500 miles on
this set up ............Also had it happen to a kitted SX200 with a 30mm
dellorto........? Anyone else having these problems with these floats ??
If so how are you sealing them ? what glue to prevent the ethanol melting
the existing factory glue ? I need to pull all my new carbs and glue them .
Any insights would be most welcome ....... G.
