I have had my bike for a couple months now and every time I ride I seem to be flooding the carb. She starts fine and can ride a little while, sometimes up to a mile or more but eventually the overflow drain hose starts leaking gas. I pull over and it is pouring gas out the overflow, I turn off fuel and unscrew the drain and wait till it drains, tighten and it starts right back up again.
So, first I did what is demo'ed in this video-
This did nothing - the float is not stuck and it moves smoothly up and down.
Next I am wondering if I should try what he is demonstrating in this video-
However, I am wondering if I am flooding the engine based on weight capacity - I am about 230 plus the weight of a cruiser and engine - sometimes a bag. It will certainly flood if I am at a stop and just hit full throttle without assistance. Any advice for a novice would certainly be appreciate.
