Here's one for you all, first of all I know that the term hydro lock refers to water but in this case the fluid in question is raw fuel/gas.
Now the story goes buddy went into a store came out and gas was pissing out the exhaust then it was suggested that it's hydro locked ? I would like someone to explain or show proof of a hydro locked 2 stroke from these conditions?
I stated that a carb with the float valve stuck open the fuel comes out the over flow not up the emulsion tube or needle jet body, yes or no?
Then I was told the over flow was blocked for other reasons and the case filled with gas and was pissing out the exhaust, so let me get this straight your gravity feed fuel supply has pumped through the carb and intake into the case and filled it to the point it's now over flowing out the exhaust port! Hhmm does this make sense ? And this all happened in a few minutes, have you ever drained your tank through the pet cock?
Now wait here's the real kicker this started with two guy's commenting then Don Butler chimed in saying this happens all the time ?
