Fluke

I'm working on a fix for the stock Keihin carburetor that has an impossible leak coming from the bowl overflow when the gas is left on and the engine is stopped. You can throw all the aftermarket and OEM parts at it your bank account can stand and not fix the problem. Why I had no leaking problems for 19 years nobody, from Sudco International, Keihin's distributor, can explain to me. They have not admitted a problem or offered a solution so far, but the float stop is the only thing I have found so far that fixes the leak. I have adjusted the stop on the original carb as well as the new carb. I'm not sure if it is the thing to do for a long term solution but it works short term and has stopped the leak. Interested at this point if Honda has anything to say because Keihin says casting and float stop is built to Honda design specs and that's all they can discuss. Maybe I'll hear something next week I can pass along to the group because I know there are other folks that have this frustrating problem too.

Riding an old Honda 2002 Rancher I bought new. I was 50 at the time and had no idea It would last this long or me either!! That's what has brought me to this site for a little help and advice occasionally. Never had any trouble at all I couldn't take care of until recently and closest dealer told me they don't work on any ATV's older than 7 years old. I couldn't believe my ears! What can you do except fix it yourself even if its major......so here I am! Next closest dealer said they would work on it and they are 65 miles away and have a 1+ month waiting list.

Just joined and look forward to hearing some positive ideas! Thanks for the invite Jeepwm69!
