Hey Everyone!
Been driving the 60 BT7 alot! Just the other day the front SU started overflowing.Some times happens if we don't drive it for a week or so. Gave the bowl a quick tap with the back of a screwdriver (usually fixes it) However, this time it didn't. Took the top of the bowl off and the float was floating. The fork was set at 3/8".(I bent it down a little more to be sure)Blew into the threaded part and the cutoff seemed to work fine when I lifted the fork.Still over flowing. Can this cutoff needle thing get trash in it or something? Is this a high wear item? Do they have a rubber tip? Should I replace it? The back carb is happy. Standard Electronic 12VDC SU pump(no high pressure stuff)
Thanks in advance,
Shelly
