Carby Bike appears to constantly flood.

Flooding.

i get so sick of typing but the practise is good for me i guess

Everyone is telling him how to fix his carb. Thats great, But how does he drain the mix from his case. He can get the carb fixed and it still wont start with a case full of fuel and oil. I would like to know how to drain a case if this ever happens to me. Would you have to remove the engine and turn it upside down?????

P.S. Sorry headSmess, You DID say turn it upside down. I should read the post's better.

No, there are a couple of things that you can do, without removing the engine or turning it upside down. The easiest is to remove the spark plug, rotate piston to BDC, and insert a air hose in the spark plug hole and blow. This won't take but a minute or so. Another is removing the spark plug, rotate piston to BDC and let sit and nature will evaporate the gas from the fuel mix.

Now for those that don't have a air tank. You can get a small inexpensive 12V pump. You can either use the cigarette lighter and plug it in, or install battery clips. I have two along with my big tank. One I cut the plug off and attached to clips to be able to use directly from a battery. All stores that sell auto parts should have them in stock

Thanks HeadSmess. The only one that I don't understand is the "let nature take it's course and evaporate". Wouldn't that still leave the oil behind after the gas evaporates. Won't too much oil in the case cause problems also?

not as big an issue as turning it over when the crankcase is flooded...

theres a period between the piston port closing and the transfers opening where the only way out is via the crank seals... hence turning it upside down, and letting gravity be an ally

just forcing it over works, but can ruin seals... can. not will, just can...

so the method used is governed by circumstances and location really...

letting it evaporate will work, a bit of extra oil never hurt anyone except whoever was sucking on the exhaust pipe...

Thanks HeadSmess, And I assume any extra oil would sling around enough to eventually get sucked up and burned.
And the only pipe I've ever sucked on had "some kind" of tobacco in it, although I do know some people!!!
