Ktm 50 carby

[Damien]

So I'm using a ktm 50 carby on my bike and it seems like the needles sticking or something else as I've only had it not flooding the carb and pouring out the overflow and not flooding the engine a few times when taking the needle and seat out... any tips on what else I can do before I buy a new carb...

If it is coming out the over flow, you have a piece of garbage on the needle valve in the bowl, the float is set to let to much gas in, your carb is to tilted, the needle valve gasket it bad.

I think it might be because it's tilted...

Try to level it more. Then see what she does.

 

[Damien]

How can I achieve that with the reeds...

 

[Karl Snarl]

Do you have a welder and a hacksaw?

 

[Damien]

Sadly not otherwise it would be off and welded

I think it might be because it's tilted...

It's not excessive, do a search for heater hose, some of those are pre-formed into an "L".
Put some oil on your chain.
