Sled floods when sitting

[renotay]

I have a 2003 vertical escape... finally got it running pretty awesome, but have developed a little flooding problem over the last few rides.

When the sled sits for a couple hours it floods itself and ive been finding puddles of gas under it unless i shut the fuel off.

Float sticking? or something clogged?

thanks in advance for any suggestions

you mjght take a look at your fuel pump.

The needle & seat might be worn, or a piece of grit stuck in it. You should be able to tell if it is the carbs that are overflowing, or a gas line, fuel pump, etc, if you are seeing puddles underneath. If it is the carbs, I'd replace the float assembly & needle/seat.

I had the same problem with my gen2 last year. A small pice from a gasket was stuck betwen needle/seat. Remember to drain your crank. Its probably full of gas.

X2 on check your fuel pump, i'm pretty sure when they get bad the gas just keeps flowing.
