Hi everybody! I've been riding an 85 for about a year now and was dealing with ever worsening carburetor problems. I finally ripped it apart, took off the airbox and jetted for pods. The bike runs like a champ now except that the carb floods constantly. The shop I took it to told me the problem is the o-rings in the T in the fuel line at either end where it goes into each carb. Any thoughts on how to find good rings for it? I'm looking for another carb for parts but pickings are slim...

Should be able t match then up at a auto store.....That's why you never dismantle the carbs from the rack........On another note I doubt that iscausing a flooding issue....They would leak but I don't see flooding. |

As Blaine said, would cause a leak, but not flooding. The flooding issue would be caused by the float needle not sealing, float adjusted to high, or damaged needle, needle seat, or the floats themselves (hole in them, allowing fuel to fill the floats).
