Yep. I Just figured out that I am NOT, in fact, subbed to you. Don't know how it happened. But, I am now. Cheers, bud. Off to find your solar machine set-up.
Without a doubt its a stuck carb float, float height may be set wrong, more likely its just a stuck float needle, you can actually get the float bowls off without taking the carbs off, but that tube being full means at least one of the carbs is overflowing into the plenum (box that holds the carbs together). Be careful as this can end up hydro-locking the cylinders if it gets enough gas through. Engine sounds sweet, very healthy
I suspect it is the front carb on the left side. It's sweating around the boot also. I don't want to wash down the cylinders. Thank you for confirming this. I might try to open the float bowl on the bike since it sounds good already. I am ready to do a complete cleaning if needed.
I had this on my V45, when you look at the float needles, one end has a rubber cone that sits against the inlet, the other end that sits against the float will have a small needle that you should be able to push in and it should spring back, I suspect that one of those will be stuck in
I believe the rubber cone might be shot. A lot of gas poured out. Like half a shot glass. Thank you for the response. I did watch your video on a trip to the motorcycle place. They had a Magna just like mine almost. I went to their site also to check out their bike. Very cool place. Have a great day.
try giving each float bowl a good tap with the back end of a screwdriver - may get it to seat, but if its overflowing probably dirt in one of those float needles
I think it is beyond tapping to loosen things up. The gas smells like a couple years old. So maybe it's been sitting for that long. It's funny because I noticed the oil filter part number is the same as my 97 Honda accord.
